Method
Step 1: Melt the Butter
- Add the butter to a small saucepan and melt it over low heat until just softened.

Step 2: Add Garlic
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30–40 seconds until fragrant, not browned.

Step 3: Season the Butter
- Remove from heat and mix in salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried parsley.

Step 4: Finish with Lemon
- Add lemon juice and stir well. Let it cool slightly so flavors blend.

Step 5: Serve or Store
- Use immediately as a topping or let it firm up in the fridge for spreading.

Notes
I love serving this garlic butter over grilled steak, shrimp, or chicken. You can also spread it on warm bread or drizzle it over roasted vegetables for extra flavor.
