My husband and I loved the shrimp prepared this way. I was a little worried that the refrigerated, marinating shrimp would have a 'solidified' aura around them because of the melted butter, but the butter and olive oil kind of meld together and the butter doesn't re-solidify. We had these over a baby lettuce salad lightly dressed with a vinaigrette dressing, along with some crusty Italian bread. It was a lovely, light dinner that will be repeated. Thanks Gingerbear!

This dish was a huge hit at a recent dinner party we held at our home. You can't go wrong with this one, especially since we did not need to keep it warm for the guests. I backed off the lemon rind slightly last time...recommend following the full recipe.

This was wonderful. The marinade adds great flavors to the shrimp--the freshness of the lemon and saltiness of the capers blend perfectly with the mustard and garlic.
