Spring is here and I’m excited about sharing some delicious recipes that are ideal for Easter but are also a great option for making any day. This recipe for Chipotle Butter Shrimp and Lime Butter Asparagus is delicious, elegant and is ready in less than 30 minutes.

You don’t have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen to cook a spectacular meal. All you need are good ingredients! There are few things that taste more delicious than a sauce made with premium quality butter and that is why I love using Plugrá Butter in my recipes. It really makes a huge difference when it comes to taking simple recipes like these from tasting good to fantastic.

Garlic and butter are two of my favorite ingredients and when you add the mild, smoky heat of chipotle it’s a match made in heaven. Both of these recipes really highlight the creamy and smooth deliciousness that is butter. The most important thing to ensure these recipes are a total success is making sure you’re using a great butter like Plugrá. Plugrá butter is made with real milk from American farms and has no artificial ingredients or added growth hormones. Because it’s slow churned it has less moisture which gives it that amazing flavor and smooth creamy texture. All you have to do is try it and you’ll see the difference and understand why I’m raving about it.

I always get Plugrá butter at my local Publix grocery store. I use the salted butter for sautéing and for savory recipes like this one and I use the unsalted butter for baking.

Now for those fantastic buttery recipes which are sure to become your new favorite dishes!
