Miso Butter Shrimp

It's that time again - SRC time! As part of the Secret Recipe Club, we're assigned another blogger each month, and we get to pick a recipe from their blog to make. This month, I got Well Dined, and Sarah's definitely got a plethora of recipes to choose from! After browsing through many, many scrumptious recipes, I found one i just had to make - miso butter. I'm a fan of miso, but it's been pushed to the back of the fridge over time, and this recipe's definitely a great reason to pull it out again. Plus, like compound butter, it's so versatile and can be adapted to many uses - ranging from a spread on toast to cooking seafood in, and everything in between. For this recipe, I used only shiro, or white, miso, and we really enjoyed it. However, I'm thinking it'd taste even yummier with a bit of red, or aka miso mixed in. Maybe even gochujang! I also whipped the butter instead of just mixing it in since I also wanted to use it as a spread. We're also fans of whipped butter, especially as a spread, and it's less calorically dense and has a lighter texture. :)

What's your favorite type of miso?

  4. Miso butter is seriously one of my favorite things, ever. I usually do it in the food processor, but I love the whipped idea! I'm going to do that next time I make it. Thanks for the love!

  7. Seriously so much flavor and yum packed into miso butter! I figured if I whipped it, it'd be easier to use as a spread on toast. :)

  10. I've never heard of miso butter but I'm always looking for new ideas for the miso I have in the fridge. And yes, mine gets pushed to the back too and then I tend to forget about it. I don't think that will happen again if I can look forward to this dish. Love how quick it is too!
