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.
