shrimp and cheesy grits with Cajun butter sauce!

~~~

We recently met up with friends for a birthday dinner at an area creole restaurant. I had shrimp and grits for the first time ever. Since we don't frequent that restaurant, and I wanted to taste that flavor again, I searched the internet for a sauce that I thought would have the same flavor as the way the shrimp and grits were served. This Cajun butter recipe is perfect!

8 tbsp butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp dried parsley
½ tsp coarse salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat butter until completely melted (approximately 1 minute).
Mix in the remaining ingredients and whisk with a fork until well combined.
Use immediately.

If you are using Cajun Butter for basting, make sure you keep mixing up the ingredients during the application, as the garlic tends to sink to the bottom.

On October 2, 2021, during a televised interview with the Sparks 300 race winner Brandon Brown at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama, NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast incorrectly described the chant in the background as "Let's Go Brandon", which sparked the meme.

"Let's Go Brandon" is a political slogan and Internet meme used as a substitute for the phrase "Fuck Joe Biden" in reference to Joe Biden, the 46th and current president of the United States.
