Summer is heating up, and so is the barbecue! One of our favorite things to do in the summer is to head out to the river and lake for long, hot days under the sun. When it comes to food, these weekends consist of plenty of grilling, which generally includes veggies, steak, and my favorite: shrimp. I recently stumbled upon Challenge Butter Seasoned Snack Spreads, which create an easy way to flavor anything you put on the grill without needing to bring butter and a bunch of different spices on the road.
As soon as I saw the everything flavored snack spread, I knew I wanted to slather it all over some shrimp! Thus, my Everything Butter Grilled Shrimp were born, and boy are they flavorful. These ready-for-the-grill shrimp are made with three simple ingredients: Challenge Butter everything flavor Seasoned Snack Spreads for a seasoned, buttery base plus chives and chopped garlic. The best part? I love using the leftover butter to make an aioli dip for the shrimp so the ingredients get to shine in different formats.
