I often find myself with an abundance of cilantro in my kitchen. I cook with it often, but for some reason I never find enough recipes to use it all before it goes bad. I found this recipe in the depths of my large stack of recipes to try and headed right for the kitchen one day for lunch. I haven’t eaten lunch that fast in a while. This was more delicious than I thought it would be! What is great is this butter can be used for other seafood, think shrimp, scallops, and of course all of the other mild white fishes. Plus, you could use it with pork, chicken, or even a lovely butter melted over a steak. Yeah, that will be happening soon here soon since I think my husband will love that combo!

So, use up some more cilantro, have lunch ready in less than 10 minutes, and it’s healthy. Woohoo! Now, hand me a cookie because I’m so happy!
