For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of melted butter for the garlic step. Experiment with different herb combinations to customize the butter to your liking. Some great additions include oregano, chives, or tarragon. This herb butter is also delicious on grilled chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables.
