Pappadeaux Creole Butter Recipe

This Pappadeaux-inspired recipe is the perfect way to get your shrimp swimming in a rich, seasoned butter sauce.
Use real butter, not margarine, for the fullest flavor.
I recommend melting the butter gently on the stovetop and then adding your choice of seasonings like Tabasco and red chili flakes to customize the heat.
The best part about this recipe is how the shrimp absorb all those fantastic flavors.
Dunking a piece of bread in the sauce is an experience in itself!

Instructions
 
  • Start by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Make sure the butter is completely melted before moving on to the next step.
  • This creates a smooth base for your Creole butter.
  • Add the garlic powder, onion powder, Creole seasoning, and cayenne pepper into the melted butter.
  • Stir them well to ensure an even mixture of spices throughout the butter.
  • Keep the heat low to prevent burning.
  • Once the spices are mixed well, add the salt.
  • Stir the mixture and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
  • This helps release more of the spices’ flavors into the butter.
  • Add lemon juice to your saucepan.
  • Stir frequently to combine.
  • The lemon juice adds a bit of zest to your Creole butter.
  • Transfer the Creole butter to a dish for serving or use immediately to inject flavors into meats.
