For a richer flavor, brown the butter slightly before adding the shrimp.
If you don't have buttery round crackers, you can use plain crackers and add a pinch of salt to the crumb mixture.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice is highly recommended for the best flavor.
Adjust the amount of garlic powder to your preference.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
