Superb Scampi (fish) butter

Santiago - 3-8-2014 at 07:56 AM

Scampi Butter

2 TBSP finely chopped Cilantro leaves
1/4 lb unsalted softened butter
1 TBSP minced garlic
2 TBSP finely mined red onion
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
dash white pepper
dash worcestershire
Juice from 1 lemon
1 tbsp white wine

In a bow, whisk all the ingredients until thoroughly combined. Refigerate until ready for use.

SWMBO made a tub of this on our last trip and we used it over grilled bass fillets - man was it good. Next morning I fried our eggs in it - geeze they were good.

Why unsalted butter? To me, unsalted butter is pretty close to lard in flavor. Other than that it looks delicious.

We're trying it tonight with lobster Jim

Thanks

OH, that sounds very, very good--

Like Russ, I will use the salted butter, however.

THANKS

ling cod ceviche is devine...as is razor clam and geoduck cheviche....and i especially love octopus cheviche...there is no such thing as BAD ceviche as long as it's made RIGHT.

Pompano - 3-8-2014 at 05:27 PM

The very best ceviche is made with lutefisk.

Russ - 3-8-2014 at 05:37 PM

Pampano, You are a very sick person. How in the name of all that is holy could you put lutefisk in the same sentence with cheviche? Or the same country? That's right there with urchent (sp) roe. God help you

All I can say is...like Santiago's recipe, "it's all about the butter!" Sad that lutefisk gets such a bad rap.

p.s. I've also made many Minnesotans happy with 'walleye' ceviche. Never get between a Norski and a fish.

Lutefisk deserves its bad rap right along with finnan haddie! :lol:

Then again, I have a friend who was raised eating both and she might disagree. :saint:

Just tried that recipe, and oh boy, it is delicious. Thank you Santiago.

Santiago - 3-8-2014 at 08:03 PM

Captain Mike I'm going to have to buy another coffee cup. My cat knocked over my Captain Mike cup onto the kitchen floor and broke it. It's a great coffee cup!

Just ordered two!

well thank you sir private eye for your patronage. Same prices for years on great baja stuff. I have the big 7' x 6' maps too again. Price on that went up because no more are being made. $106 a set incl USA shipping.

We had this last night and it's a keeper. I didn't have wine so I used chicken broth. Salted butter instead of unsalted. Most excellent.

BajaLuna - 3-13-2014 at 11:17 AM

Can't wait to try this, haven't tried using Worcestershire sauce in my scampi!

I really like cooking and especially baking with unsalted butter, that way I can control the salt.
