This flavorful butter is perfect for grilling, sauteing, or dipping. It is also a great addition to mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or popcorn.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, garlic, parsley, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  • Form the butter mixture into a log shape and wrap it in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • For a spicier butter, increase the amount of cayenne pepper to 1/4 teaspoon.
  • To make a garlic butter, omit the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  • To make a herb butter, add 1 tablespoon of your favorite chopped herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
