Reduce heat, add shrimp butter, salt and pepper; stir until butter melts. Stir in 1/4 c. of the almonds.

Personal Notes:
This is a delicious, delicate approach to fresh fish. Sole is perfect, but if you can't find nice, fresh sole, ask at the fish counter for their freshest light white fish and use that instead.
