As Bon Appetit says, the sauce does double duty, part baste and later dipping. From the june 1990 issue of bon appetit. I changed it a little by adding jalapeno, but you can omit.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon fresh jalapeno, chopped
6 tablespoons chives, chopped and fresh
36 jumbo shrimp, uncooked, shelled and butterflied
whole chives, with
flour (as garnish) (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Place mustard in a bowl, whisk in lemon juice, then melted butter. Add chopped chives and jalapeno. Season with pepper.
3. Arrange shrimp cut side up, on broiler pan. Brush with some butter mixture. Broil until cooked through 4 minutes.
4. Serve, garnishing with whole chives if using and pass remaining butter for dipping.
