Preparation
Step 1
Mix butter, minced tarragon, chives, and lemon peel in small bowl.

Add peas to boiling water; cook 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer peas to bowl with beans; drain.
Add shrimp to saucepan, reduce heat, and simmer until opaque in center, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to small bowl.
Add shells to saucepan; boil until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 40 minutes. Discard shells and tarragon sprigs. Stir lemon juice into cooking liquid.
