Garlic butter, also known as beurre à la bourguignonne, is a type of seasoned butter used as a flavouring for Escargots à la bourguignonne. It is also spread on bread or used in shrimp scampi. It is made of butter and garlic. These ingredients are well blended and chilled before use.

Dipping sauce

In the United States, garlic butter in small cups is sometimes served with foods like lobster, pizza, or breadsticks as a dip. To improve shelf life, the dip may use clarified butter or flavored oils rather than real butter.
