Escargot Classic Style

Chef Jeff Garland's Note:

Just the way I like my escargot. Simple and yet elegant and great. Hint; I buy the snails from IGourmet. They sell a can that contains 72, enough for 12 servings @ a really good price and they are as good or better than the higher priced ones. Truly restaurant quality.

I get mine from Igourmet too and they are great. My recipe is very much like yours. I happen to have some shitakes so I sliced them up into the saute. Thanks for reminding me how to make this delicious dish.
