Sriracha-Lime Popcorn

This is delicious.  I'm not sure where I got this one from, so if you've seen it somewhere else, let me know and I'll give credit where it's due.  No measurements, I just can't do it.  I think I'm going to start posting the stuff I make with no measurements.  That is, honestly, the only thing holding me back from posting more recipes.  I'm incapable of measurement.  I make all sorts of great dishes and take photos of them, and then I don't know how to write them up because I just don't measure.

ANYHOW...here is a delicious mix of stuff to put on your popcorn.  Please don't use pre-packaged microwave popcorn, that stuff is poison and you're just killing yourself with it.  I have a Stir Crazy popper that my sis-in-law gave me for Xmas, and I love it!




Ingredients
popcorn
butter
Sriracha amazing hot chili pepper sauce (as much or as little as makes your mouth happy)
lime juice (you don't need a lot...experiment with it to your liking)
salt (optional)

If you know how to make a bowl of popcorn
look exciting and photogenic, let me know.
Instructions
1)  Pop your popcorn.
2)  While the corn is popping, melt the butter using whatever method you like.
3)  Whisk the Sriracha and lime juice into the melted butter.
4)  When the popcorn is done, pour the butter mixture over the top a little bit at a time, stirring the popcorn around with each pour.  Shake salt on top if you'd like.

enjoy!

  1. This might be a dumb question, but where do you find sriracha hot pepper sauce? The spice aisle? This recipe sounds delish. We got rid of our microwave a year or two ago so I've just been making popcorn in a skillet - so much tastier that way.

    1. Probably in the "Asian" section, but possibly where you find other hot sauces (condiments aisle?). I was using a skillet, too, until I got the Stir Crazy for Xmas...which basically does the same thing, you just don't have to keep shaking it. And you're right, SO much tastier!
