This Cajun Honey Butter is something you never knew you needed in your life. It is honestly so good on anything- toast, baked salmon, grilled chicken, shrimp, roasted vegetables, corn on the cob... And it takes less than 10 minutes to whip up!

The Ingredients

  • Butter- It is best to use unsalted butter for this recipe as the Cajun seasoning contains salt. That way you can taste and add additional salt to suit your tastes if needed. That said, salted butter will work as well.
  • Honey
  • Cajun Seasoning- I like to use this homemade seasoning which is quick to make! But if you have other Cajun seasoning on hand, that should work as well.

The Method

  1. Mix all of the ingredients together with a hand mixer until well combined and whipped.

Leftovers and Storage

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to come to room temperature before using so that it is easy to spread.

Ways to Use Cajun Butter

There are SO MANY ways you should use this stuff!

  • It is delicious on a variety of grilled, baked or fried seafood and meats:
    • Chicken
    • Trout
    • Salmon
    • Shrimp
    • Pork Chops
  • Spread it on corn on the cob or make this quick and easy Cajun Corn
  • Try it with roasted vegetables, such as:
    • Potatoes
    • Carrots
    • Sweet Potatoes
    • Kale
  • Spread it on toasted Honey Oat Bread or use it on sandwiches
  • Use it to make this Cajun Chicken Sheet Pan

Tips and Notes

  • If you're in a hurry, you can just melt the butter in the microwave and stir all of the ingredients together. Depending on how you are using it, it can be used in its melted state. Or let it sit at room temperature until it solidifies.
  • This recipe can easily be scaled up or down depending on how much you need. Don't need much? Use teaspoons in place of tablespoons to easily scale down and make about 3 tablespoon total.

    What a unique, simple yet versatile and tasty recipe. There must be dozens of recipes this delectable butter can be incorporated with. In addition to three of yours, I've already used it with two of my own including stuffed baked potatoes for tonight's dinner. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
