Pappadeaux Garlic Butter Sauce Recipe

Whether you’re cooking shrimp, scallops, or a simple baked fish, this sauce brings everything together with its creamy texture and a burst of flavor.
The key is in balancing the garlic with just a hint of lemon to cut through the richness and enhance the dish effortlessly.
I personally love using quality, unsalted butter and fresh garlic for the best results, and remember, a splash of white wine can add a lovely depth.
A little trick is to start with a low heat to gently soften the garlic, ensuring that the flavors meld beautifully.
