  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 lemon

Instructions
 

  • In a large stock pot with a lid, add the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the shallot and cook for about 3-4 minutes until translucent and tender, like cooking an onion. Add the garlic and saute for just 30 seconds. Do not brown the garlic.
