Recipe Steps

4 h 18 min

  • Step 1

    To make the clarified butter, add the butter to a pan over a low/medium heat. Heat until completely melted (not boiling) and the butter has begun to separate in the pan. This will take about 5-8 minutes.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Skim any froth off the surface of the pan and carefully pour the yellow liquid butter into another pan, leaving any white milk fats behind. For an extra smooth filtering you can pass the milk through a fine cheesecloth or two layered sheets of kitchen towel.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Add the mace, half the lemon zest, cayenne and black pepper to the pan and stir into the clarified butter, then add the cooked shrimp. Simmer gently for a minute or two until the shrimp are cooked through, then remove from the heat.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and divide them evenly between two mini, or one large ramekin.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Pour the clarified butter over the shrimps so that they are entirely submerged. Set aside to cool, then transfer to the fridge to set for a minimum of 4 hours. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving to soften. Scatter with the remaining zest to serve.
