Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat until fully liquid.

Add shrimp and cook gently until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

Stir in lemon juice, black pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to a serving dish.

Layer the shrimp mixture in a pot or jar, pressing down to eliminate air pockets.

Melt additional butter and pour over the shrimp mixture to seal.

Sprinkle with salt and finely chopped parsley on top.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.

Serve with bread and a drizzle of malt vinegar on the side.
