Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter and olive oil together.
Add garlic and shallots to the pan and cook for around two minutes, stirring often (don't let them brown).
Add the shrimp to the pan and increase the heat slightly. Cook for around 3-4 minutes, turning once until just done to taste (the shrimp will turn pink). Add salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.

Notes
Buy the shrimp peeled and deveined with tails removed. Less work for you!
Use fresh dill. In general fresh herbs are always preferable. But especially for this recipe, the fresh dill really shines.
Don't overcook the shrimp. It can be really easy to do this, but I encourage you to keep a close eye on it and remove the lemon shrimp when it is just cooked.
If you're cooking for a crowd, make a double batch. Trust me on this, these go fast at a party.
Season during cooking for the best flavor in the shrimp.
Taste it when it's done for seasoning.And add additional salt and pepper if needed
Serve Hot or Cold- The original recipe calls for the shrimp to be chilled for a few hours and served cold but it really is awesome either way.
Prep ahead- Peel garlic, dice shallots, wash dill and lemon, thaw and prep shrimp.
Leftovers and Storage- This will last up to 2 days covered in the refrigerator.
