For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter. If you don't have shallots, you can substitute with 1/2 cup of finely chopped yellow onion. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. To elevate this dish, consider adding toasted almonds or pine nuts for added texture. Ensure not to burn the garlic. Burnt garlic can give a bitter flavor.
