This zesty and spicy popcorn is infused with the vibrant flavors of lime and sriracha, making it a perfect snack for movie nights or parties.
Ingredients
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
2 tablespoons oil
1 whole lime
to taste teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
Method
Begin by heating a large, deep pot and adding popcorn kernels along with a splash of oil. Cover it and set on high heat.
Gently shake the pot from time to time to promote even popping. When the popping sounds start to diminish after about 7 minutes, take the pot off the heat and pour the popped corn into a large mixing bowl.
Grate the zest of a lime and sprinkle it along with some salt over the freshly popped popcorn while it's still warm.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed juice of the lime, melted butter, and a generous squeeze of sriracha sauce until everything is well blended.
Drizzle this zesty and spicy concoction over the popcorn and toss it gently to achieve an even coating.
