  3. Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic to the melted butter and stir to combine.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of hot red pepper sauce, mixing constantly with a spatula to prevent clumping. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 1 minute.

  7. Serve immediately alongside your perfectly cooked lobster and/or clams. Enjoy the incredible flavor combination!
