Butter and dips with a twist

[Sculpin]

Well, we probably all have had prawns and crab in the traditional garlic butter. Still a great staple but gets boring after a while right?

I started adding lemon juice to it etc. a while ago, but then on new years eve last year, I didn't have any garlic . I added some Old Bay seasoning to the butter and lemon juice and it was really good. Not fantastic, but good.

I was just wondering what other folks have used or added to the butter or other "dips" for prawns and crab? Even if it was by accident or by convenience please post em up.

Cheers,
John

Sculpin if you like lemon flavor try lemon zest will stand out way more than lemon juice

 

[Sculpin]

Thanks Don. I will try that. It would probably work good for brushing prawn skewers on the barbeque as well .

Have you tried roasting your lemons first? Cut them in half and bake in the oven till hot or place in the BBQ. Turns them into a tasty treat. Squeeze the juices from a roast lemon on your seafood. YUM

You can try substituting lemon with lime. I rarely use lemon anymore, lime almost always.
