Buttery Lobster/Shellfish Dipping Sauce

Diann is Cooking's Note:

Although I've switched to the Healthy one, this one lives on in my memory of great taste... Prep time is about ten minutes total pulling things together and cooking.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 teaspoon two garlic clove, crushed
• 3 -4 drops hot red pepper sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

1. Time your cooking of this to work with your lobster or clams that you are steaming. Both should arrive at the table at the same time.
2. Once the butter is melted in a small skillet (low-medium heat), add the garlic, and mix.
3. Add the hot red pepper sauce, being sure to blend immediately with a spatula, otherwise some brands will just remain little lumps in your skillet.
4. Reduce to low heat.
5. Just prior to removing from the heat, add the lemon juice, and mix with spatula. (If the skillet is too hot, there may be some splattering).
6. Serve the lobster and/or clams then bring the butter to the table, and enjoy.

we added the ingredients to some leftover roasted red pepper butter we used on steaks and will have to try again with just plain butter
