- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot add oil.

- Add the broth and bring everything to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Put the shrimp back in the pan and heat until they are fully cooked.
- Add the fresh cilantro or parsley, lime zest, lime juice and butter.
