Browned Garlic Butter Sauce

The secret to making this type of sauce is to shake the pan in a back-and-forth motion, rather than stirring or whisking. This gentle type of blending creates an emulsion from the butter and liquid and gives the sauce a texture and richness that cannot be duplicated any other way.
