Hot seafood + cold compound butter coins = instant sauce (and a restaurant-level finish in seconds).
Here’s the trick: mix softened butter (not melted) with lime zest + your flavor, roll into a tight log, chill, then slice “coins” with a warm, thin knife. Drop 1–2 coins on hot shrimp/scallops/fish and let it melt into the juices… glossy, bright, and easy.
Two go-to combos:
- Garlic–Lime: microplaned garlic + lime zest + salt (+ parsley/cilantro if you like). Add fresh lime juice at the end.
- Chili–Lime: lime zest + chili flakes/gochugaru + salt (optional tiny touch of honey for balance). Finish with a squeeze of lime.
Why it works: butter carries the flavor, citrus wakes it up, and the coins give you perfect portion control—one for subtle, two for bold.
If you’re craving a Gulf Coast Escape, make it a seafood-night kind of stay at Port St. Joe RV Resort—an RV-only resort with full hookups, a climate-controlled bathhouse, on-site laundry, a pool, dog park, playground, a cozy cabana with games and a 65" TV, plus a community firepit. You’re about 1 mile from downtown Port St. Joe and about 2 miles from the public boat ramp.
