Amazing Garlic butter sauce for seafood
Garlic butter sauce for seafood can be a great way to add extra flavor and succulence to your favorite seafood dishes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the butter
- Start by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. You want to melt the butter slowly to avoid browning or burning it.
Step 2: Add the minced garlic
- Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic to the saucepan. Stir the garlic into the butter and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn, as it can turn bitter.
Step 3: Add lemon juice and herbs
- Next, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley to the saucepan. The lemon juice adds a tangy brightness to the sauce, while the parsley adds a fresh and aromatic flavor. Stir the ingredients together and let the sauce simmer for another minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4: Season with salt and pepper
- After the sauce has simmered for a minute, season it with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount of salt and pepper, and adjust to your preference. Remember that seafood can be naturally salty, so be careful not to over-season the sauce.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy!
- Once the garlic butter sauce is seasoned to your liking, remove the saucepan from the heat. The sauce is now ready to be drizzled over your cooked seafood or used as a dipping sauce. Spoon the sauce generously over your seafood, and savor the delicious flavors of the garlic butter sauce as it enhances the natural sweetness and succulence of the seafood.
