    This is exactly how I make mine. I usually add more red pepper though. Delicious!

    Any recipe that calls for butter I use Brommel and Brown yogurt spread. It is non-hydrogenated expeller pressed veggie oils. It is lower calorie because it is watered down a bit too, but has great flavor and my mom's doctor reccomended it after she had her galbladder removed. I have been using it since, love a little on shrimp, fish and steamed or panfried veggies.

    THIS SEEMS VERY FATNING. LOTS OF BUTTER AND OIL. WEIRD, FOR THE BIGGEST LOSER
