Buttered Shrimps

Shell some shrimps and place them in a fryingpan with a lump of butter, a small quantity of salt and pepper, and stir them over the fire until hot. Fry some thin slices of bread in butter, drain when a golden brown and place them on a hot dish; pile the buttered shrimps on the bread and serve.
