Ingredients

225 g (½ lb) butter at room
30 ml (2 Tbsp) sea lettuce flakes

Preparation

Add the sea lettuce flakes to the butter and mix. That's all there is to it!
Use it to sauté your shrimp or cook your mussels, melt it and dip your lobster in it, or simply spread it on a baguette!

The sea lettuce flakes from Un Océan de Saveurs, that are used in this recipe have a plant-like flavour resembling sorrel and spinach with aromatic briny notes.
