1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill, or 2 tsp dried dill

2. In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the shrimp, mayonnaise, onions and dill. Process until barely pureed. Fold in the clarified butter and add salt to taste.
3. Line a 4-cup loaf pan with plastic wrap. Pour the shrimp mixture into it. Cover and chill overnight.
