For a smoother texture, ensure the butter and cream cheese are thoroughly softened before mixing. Patting the shrimp dry helps prevent the butter from becoming watery. Adjust the amount of lemon juice and garlic salt to your taste preferences. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. Shrimp Butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
