Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- To a medium bowl, add the softened butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix together until combined. This will make about 1 cup of butter. (You could also mix the ingredients in a food processor.)
- To make a compound butter: Scoop the Creole butter onto a piece of plastic wrap. Roll the butter into a log shape, pressing and shaping as you go until the butter is completely wrapped in plastic. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap together and refrigerate until firm.
- To make a butter dip: Melt the mixture in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Serve with chicken, beef, pork, seafood, or vegetables.
