Ingredients
- ½ cup very soft unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
- 1 tablespoons finely chopped chives or scallions
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes adjust to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
For the butter:
- Add the soft butter, shallots, chives (or scallions), crushed red pepper, and salt to a medium bowl.
- Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Spoon into a serving dish or pack into jars for gifting or storage.
- Serve with warm crusty bread, grilled meats, seafood, roasted vegetables, or baked potatoes.
For storing:
- Refrigerator: Lasts 1 week to 10 days.

Notes
For less heat, reduce the red pepper flakes; for more heat, add a bit extra.
If using scallions, use mostly the tender green tops for the best texture.
This butter melts beautifully over steak, chicken, salmon, or grilled shrimp.
