Marinate shrimp with garlic, olive oil, and lemon zest for 2-4 hours. → Gently poach the shrimp in a skillet over medium-low heat until partially cooked, then remove from the pan. → Deglaze the pan with white wine and lemon juice, reducing the sauce by half over medium heat. → Return the shrimp to the pan, lower the heat, and melt in cold cubed butter to create a creamy, emulsified sauce. → Garnish with fresh parsley and chives, and serve immediately with crusty bread.

Analyzing cooking steps...
Leaving the tails on the shrimp adds extra flavor to the sauce during cooking.
Rolling a lemon firmly on the counter before cutting and squeezing helps to release more juice.
Using cold butter and adding it over low heat is the key to creating a stable, creamy emulsion that won't separate or become greasy.
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. Removing them while they are still slightly undercooked and returning them to the sauce at the end ensures they remain tender and juicy.
