How do I cook shrimp in butter?

Question

I want to cook shrimp in butter. My problem in the past has been that the butter burns if it gets too hot but the shrimp remains fishy if the butter does not get hot enough. Any advice?

Use clarified butter. It will handle considerably higher temperatures without burning/smoking.

I think adding some liquid oil like olive oil will prevent butter from foaming at higher temperatures. (or you can use some flavorless oils)
