Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup butter melted and cooled
2 small shallots very finely minced
3 garlic cloves pressed or very finely minced
zest and juice of one lemon
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 teaspoon fresh parsley
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon fresh cilantro

Instructions

Melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave, just until barely melted. If the butter becomes warm, cool it to room temperature before continuing..
Finely mince your shallots and add them in. Zest and juice the lemon in. Press or finely mince your garlic and add it in too.
Add all the other ingredients and whisk very well to combine.
As you add all the ingredients and mix the butter will harden slightly, which is normal.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up 3-5 days.
