Transform seafood into a gourmet treat with Fun With Snail Butter! This versatile French-inspired garlic butter sauce (Beurre d'Escargots) works magic on canned mussels, small oysters, shrimp, or even bite-sized meatballs. The secret lies in the rich blend of butter, garlic, green onion, pepper, and parsley. Broiled until golden brown, these buttery delights make impressive appetizers that will have guests raving!
Ingredients
1/4 lb. butter at room temp
1 TBS. chopped green onion (the white part)
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 TBS. chopped parsley (optional)
Directions
This is also known as Beurre d'Escargots.
Mix all ingredients until well blended.
Naturally this is good on snails, but here's the way to have fun:
Use it on canned mussels, small oysters or on small shrimp.
Put the seafood in snail shells or artichoke bottoms, or mushroom caps or sliced zucchini, or simply in the indentations in a snail plate.
Top with snail butter and broil until brown (5 minutes).
And it is good just to put in plain old mushroom caps or on clams in half shells, or enclosed in bite sized meatballs.

In this sauce, even a chunk of wood would taste good!
Serving Size: Makes enough for about 2 dozen snails, as long as the snails aren't too hungry!

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
