Garlic butter sauce in a saucepan.

Garlic Butter Sauce

This Garlic Butter Sauce uses real butter, fresh garlic, and garlic powder for an intense garlic flavor. It is one of those handy sauces that will turn a boring dish into something special. Serve as a dipping sauce for shrimp or lobster, sautéed scallops or drizzle over a steak or fish fillet. Especially delicious with pizza crust or crunchy breadstick dipped in it.
