Ingredients
- 1 stick butter ½ cup
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- ¼ small onion minced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a skillet or large saucepan.
- Sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, until softened. The goal is to soften, not brown the onion and garlic.
- Add the remaining ingredients and cook 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let the spices burn.
- Remove and serve with steamed or poached seafood.
Notes
- Feel free to double or triple the recipe. It can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- Be careful not to brown the onions and garlic. You just want to soften them in the butter.
- You’ll also want to be careful not to boil the butter mixture. Just let it simmer. You don’t want the spices to burn.
- If you’re not a fan of spicy, you can reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.
- If you like it spicier, feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes or more cayenne pepper.
- You can also change it up by adding some Cajun seasoning.
