Wow. This was delightful. I can think of so many other things this butter could compliment. I think I'm going to serve the leftovers with some shrimp tonight. I can't wait! Thank you.

I used frozen corn kernels and added the chilled butter mixture into a Ziploc Zip 'n Steam bag, and nuked it all together. Very Yummy. Thank You Bev!
