A few tips for making Garlic Butter Dipping Sauce

• If you choose to use salted butter, you may need to cut down on the amount of salt if you use it.
• What can you use this sauce for? Dipping breadsticks, pizza, shrimp, rolling corn on the cob in it, add some to the top of a finished steak – or anywhere else you might use butter!
