Method

1. Prepare shrimp as per package instructions and remove tail.
2. Melt butter in large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add thawed shrimp, salt and pepper. Reheat for 2 minutes or until heated through. Stir in lemon juice.
3. To poach eggs, fill saucepan with enough water to come about 3 inches (8 cm) up-side. Stir in 2 tsp. of white vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Break cold egg into a small dish or saucer. Holding dish just above simmering water, slip egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs.
5. Cook in barely simmering water, for 3 to 5 minutes or until whites are set and yolks are cooked as desired.
6. Remove eggs with slotted spoon and drain well on a paper towel.
7. Hollandaise Sauce: Heat butter in small saucepan set over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown colour, let cool to room temperature. In blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice and mustard. Purée until smooth. With motor running, pour butter slowly into blender. Season with salt.
8. Top each toasted English muffin (half) with shrimp, poached egg and Hollandaise Sauce. Sprinkle with tarragon or parsley.

Tips:

• Always let butter cool to room temperature before making hollandaise sauce or you will cook the egg.
• Based on preference and availability of product in-store, any sized shrimp can be used as a substitute.
