Transform seafood into a gourmet treat with Fun With Snail Butter! This versatile French-inspired garlic butter sauce (Beurre d'Escargots) works magic on canned mussels, small oysters, shrimp, or even bite-sized meatballs. The secret lies in the rich blend of butter, garlic, green onion, pepper, and parsley. Broiled until golden brown, these buttery delights make impressive appetizers that will have guests raving!

Ingredients
1/4 lb. butter at room temp
1 TBS. chopped green onion (the white part)
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 TBS. chopped parsley (optional)
Directions
This is also known as Beurre d'Escargots.
Mix all ingredients until well blended.
Naturally this is good on snails, but here's the way to have fun:
Use it on canned mussels, small oysters or on small shrimp.
Put the seafood in snail shells or artichoke bottoms, or mushroom caps or sliced zucchini, or simply in the indentations in a snail plate.
Top with snail butter and broil until brown (5 minutes).
And it is good just to put in plain old mushroom caps or on clams in half shells, or enclosed in bite sized meatballs.

In this sauce, even a chunk of wood would taste good!
Servings\Yield
Makes enough for about 2 dozen snails, as long as the snails aren't too hungry!
