Preheat oven to 191°C with rack in middle.

Season prawns with 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/8 teaspoons pepper. Mash together butter, dill, shallot, and 1/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper. Put a dab of dill butter in each ramekin, then put ramekins in sheet pan. Arrange 2 prawns, with tails up and facing each other, in each ramekin.
