Who doesn’t love grilled sweet corn? Sweet tasting corn (non-gmo of course), tons of drippy butter and a sprinkling of salt. Who doesn’t secretly love the salt butter dripping down your chin as you’re moving down to the next row? Well – it’s a little awkward, but it’s never stopped me. Not much tops plain butter. However, I urge you to try this BBQ Butter and let me know what you think. It’s hard to beat butter and salt – but this BBQ gives regular old butter a run for it’s money.
Unsalted Kerrygold butter.
Smoked Paprika is where the “BBQ” taste comes from.
Heat the red onion in a little bit of olive oil.
After the spices have cooked for a few minutes add in the water.
Let it cook for another few minutes until the water evaporates.
This is what it should look like after the water is done evaporating. Let it cool down a bit before adding it to the softened Kerrygold Butter. You could put it in the food processor for a creamier texture if you wanted.
I added another sprinkle of salt on top of the BBQ Butter.
If you think your face looks messy with plain ole butter – try the BBQ 🙂
