Transform a simple bag of frozen peas into a flavorful side dish with this quick garlic butter recipe. These peas are tender, savory, and perfectly seasoned, making them the ideal accompaniment to any main course.
Melt the unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant and turns a light golden color.
Stir in the frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and water. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Continue cooking until the water has completely evaporated and the peas are tender and thoroughly coated in the garlic butter. Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately.
For a touch of brightness, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of chopped mint before serving. If you prefer a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes works beautifully.
