Zesty Lemon Garlic Butter

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
2. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir frequently to ensure the garlic doesn’t burn.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir well to combine.
4. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
5. Serve warm, drizzled over your favorite seafood, pasta, or vegetables. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
