Instructions

• Bring butter out the day before you'll be working with it and allow it to slowly come to room temperature in its packaging.
• When ready, remove butter papers and place sticks in a medium bowl.
• Add half of the Old Bay and lemon zest + juice to start and mix together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
• Once thoroughly mixed (you don't want any Old Bay lumps in there to surprise your palate), taste and add more seasoning and lemon if needed.  *If you like things spicy, add a splash of hot sauce, too!
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap and leave on the counter, using as needed.
• Remember that you can always melt some like this to use for dipping crab, shrimp, or clams in.

Enjoy!
