Lemon Pepper Garlic Seafood Butter Sauce Recipes

LEMON AND GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, add a small drop of olive oil and the minced garlic (and shallots if using). Cook on a low heat until soft. Then add the white wine, increase the heat to medium and let it cook for about 4 minutes until reduced by approximately 1/3 .
• Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter, stir to combine, then add the cream. Return the pan to the heat and stir until it begins to bubble. Remove from heat and add the lemon juice and dill. Stir, taste the sauce and add salt and pepper to taste.

LEMON GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Stir together chicken broth, milk, garlic, and onions into a small saucepan.
• Cook on medium heat until the mixture is reduced to half. It should take 10-12 minutes.
• Cut cold butter into 1-inch cubes. Add 1 cube of butter to a medium-size saucepan and heat on medium heat until it melts.
• Add all-purpose flour and mix it well with the butter. Cook until the mixture turns slightly brown (1-2 minutes). Stir continuously while cooking.
• Now slowly pour the reduced chicken broth mixture over the flour and butter mixture and whisk continuously using a wire whisk.
• Cook for a minute until the sauce slightly thickens.
• Add the remaining butter to the pan and cook until the butter slightly melts and combines with the sauce. Stir frequently.
• Note - Make sure the butter is chilled. It will bring down the temperature of the sauce and the sauce will not curdle when lemon juice is added to it.
• Add lemon juice before the butter completely melts and cook the sauce for 1-2 minutes.
• Note - Add the lemon juice when the sauce is not very hot. If you add lemon juice to the hot sauce, it might curdle it.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add parsley and mix well.
• Tip - Be very careful about adding any extra salt. The chicken broth also has salt in it.
• The sauce is ready. Use it as desired.

SHRIMP WITH LEMON GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Dust the shrimp with 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or flour).
• Add 2 tablespoons butter to hot skillet. When melted, add the shrimp and saute for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly brown. Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the garlic. Cook for one minute, taking care not to burn the garlic. Add the remaining flour/cornstarch and stir to combine. Add the broth, whisking to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow the sauce to thicken, 2-4 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to create a silky sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Add the shrimp back in and coat with the sauce.
• Serve with rice or pasta. Garnish with basil or parsley, lemon wedges, and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl.
• Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss to coat.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it melts. Add the shallot and let cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until it just begins to soften. Add the shrimp in a single layer and let cook undisturbed for 1 minute. With tongs or a wide spatula, turn over the shrimp.
• Add the wine and garlic. Cook until the shrimp are no longer translucent and the wine has reduced by half, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Zest the lemon directly over the skillet, then cut the lemon in half. Juice half of the lemon over the top and slice the other half into wedges for serving. Add the rosemary and parsley, then toss to combine. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
