Old Bay Butter
This easy Old Bay butter adds bold, buttery flavor to corn on the cob, seafood, cornbread, potatoes, and grilled vegetables with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a small mixing bowl.
- Stir everything together until the seasoning and garlic are evenly mixed into the butter.
- Taste and adjust with more Old Bay or lemon zest if needed.
- Serve softened, roll into a log and chill, or melt gently for dipping.
Notes
- For a smoother butter, use ½ teaspoon garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.
- For a sweet and savory version, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey.
- For a melted Old Bay butter sauce, warm the butter over low heat and add a small squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
