For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter as it melts. Ensure the shrimp are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking to achieve the best caramelization and 'blackened' effect. Be mindful not to overcook the shrimp; they should be opaque and slightly firm to the touch. Serve immediately over your favorite rice or a bed of creamy fettuccine Alfredo for a complete and satisfying meal.
