Shrimp in Dill ButterJohn Kernick

In this marriage of give and take, shallot-dill butter makes jumbo shrimp taste as sweet as langoustines. In return, the shrimp impart their juices to the butter as they bake, creating a silky sauce. With toasted brioche in hand, youll want to sop up every last drop.

Cooks notes:

•Toasts can be made 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
•Ramekins can be assembled 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before baking.
