1.
Combine melted butter, lime juice, and lime zest into a small bowl and set aside. Taste a little because it's delicious!
2.
Heat the oil in a large thick-bottomed saucepan on medium-high heat.
3.
Put 3-4 kernels in the warmed oil and wait for them to start popping. These guys are our frontline offensive.
4.
Remove from heat, add the rest of the kernels, cover, and allow 30 seconds for them to warm together in oil.
5.
Return the pan to the burner, and prepare for the fireworks!
6.
Once the kernels start to pop, gently shake the covered pan back and forth over the burner (it helps to hold the lid on with a dish towel while you're shakin' if you get too excited).
7.
Once the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops, remove from heat and dump immediately into a large bowl.
8.
Give the lime butter a quick stir to make sure the zest and juice are blended, and pour evenly over the popcorn while tossing.
9.
Sprinkle buttered popcorn liberally with Armadillo Salt and tussle again to make sure everyone's making it to the party.
