Prepare the pickle butter by mixing the softened butter with the dill pickles, dill, parsley, shallot, and zest. Side Note: For a finer texture, pulse everything in a food processor until well combined.
Taste the pickle butter and add flaked sea salt, to taste, if desired.
To serve, spread on sandwiches, crackers, and toast, or dollop on top of grilled meats & veggies.
Store in an airtight, sealed jar in the fridge. Enjoy.
