Preparation

1. Melt tablespoon of butter in double boiler or saucepan over low heat and add shallots. Cook until shallots are tender, about 10 minutes.
2. Add shrimp shells and remaining butter, reduce heat to low and cook for about 5 minutes. Never let butter bubble.
3. Pour butter mixture in blender bowl and puree until shells are minced. Pour mixture through sieve lined with cheesecloth into bowl. Add dill, stir well, hold at room temperature until use. (You may want to warm the butter to liquefy it before basting.)
