This fiery compound butter draws inspiration from Italian "alla diavola" dishes, which translates to "devil style" - meaning deliciously spicy. Featuring multiple layers of heat from smoked paprika, chile flakes, black pepper, and pepperoncini, this versatile butter can be adjusted to suit your preferred spice level.

Ingredients

½ pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon dried chile flakes
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup finely chopped seeded pepperoncini (patted dry on paper towels after chopping)
1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco

Instructions

Fold all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula and pile into whatever container you want to serve or save it in.
Chill the butter for at least 1 hour to firm it up and to let the flavors marry and permeate the butter.
