I used half butter and half olive oil. Didn`t have fresh marjoram so I subbed it with oregano. I used a scallion in place of the chives. I just can`t make anything without garlic so the optional garlic was not an option. I used this butter to saute your shrimp in Aegean Shrimp Salad recipe #90983. It was soo good!

I am an avid cook and recipe collector. I've been cooking since I was 9 yrs. old. I am the first American from my family so I cook many different European dishes, everything from west to east. If I had a month just to do what I would like to do...I would like to cook that month with a famous chef. I also write a bulletin for a Service to Mankind organization. Since I collect recipes anywhere I can see them, I've been asked to share them with my readers. So this site is wonderful not just for me!
