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!Serves many
