Garlic Butter Recipe For Seafood

One of the easiest seafood's to cook and a favorite of mine is any shell fish, preferably crab but any kind will do. I never buy enough as with this butter it's so addicting. But with the additions of some sides like corn on the cob, boiled red potatoes there is usually enough crab for two making around 4 pounds. When dipped in garlic butter it surely becomes a banquet on the palette we enjoy every time. Of course we can't splurge like that all the time so you can even use this butter to dip any white fish even tilapia which just pan seared is perfect. This is a special occasion treat. Seafood is less expensive making it at home and easier than you think to cook.

Whether you want lobster, crab or any kind of seafood, this butter is the perfect dip for any seafood lover!
