Spicy Popcorn Seasoning

malixic's Note:

Great recipe for those that like a kick in their popcorn. This recipe is made for an average sized bowl of popcorn. If you make a lot of popcorn, DOUBLE the amount of ingredients, because there won't be enough!

• Total Time: 7 mins
• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 (3 1/3 ounce) bag popcorn
• 2 -3 tablespoons butter (To make Vegan, buy a soy butter substitute.)
• 1 -2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

1. Pop Popcorn and place in large bowl.
2. Melt around 2-3 tbsp butter. (or soy "butter").
3. Mix tabasco sauce in with the butter. (To taste, I like about a teaspoon or two.).
4. Mix 1 tsp of paprika, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and 1 tsp pepper in small cup.
5. Pour butter mixture on popcorn about one tablespoon at a time. After you pour the butter mixture on; sprinkle a bit of the seasoning mixture in, and voila!

I also used smoked paprika, and I used Bufalo hot sauce instead of Tabasco. I enjoyed this as-written, but I think I'll cut the salt by half next time. I particularly liked the hot sauce/butter on this, and will probably try that alone on popcorn sometime, too. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2011

I elected to use smoked paprika & omit the salt. Mixing the tabasco with the butter worked to spread the flavor. Thank you for sharing the recipe! Made for Fall 2011 Pick A Chef.

This is a great way to season popcorn. One teaspoon of Tabasco was enough for me. I really liked the garlic and pepper in this. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 2011.
