  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

Notes

  • Double the garlic for a stronger garlic flavor.
  • Add white wine, Cajun seasoning, or fresh herbs for variation.
