In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and blanche them for 2 minutes.

After blanching, transfer the sprouts to a steamer basket or directly into boiling water for 7-10 minutes until they are tender yet slightly crisp. If using a steamer, steam the sprouts for about 10 minutes.

5
Let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant. If desired, clarify the butter before adding the other ingredients for an extra rich flavor.

Once the Brussels sprouts are done cooking, drain them thoroughly and transfer them to a large serving bowl.

Pour the garlic butter sauce over the sprouts and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
