  small bowl. Set aside.
• 3 Heat butter in an ovenproof skillet (like cast iron) over medium-high heat. Once
  melted, add the garlic and saute for a few seconds. Then, pour in the sauce and
  cook until warm.

  cooked when opaque throughout or when it reaches an internal temperature of
  145℉.

  minute or until the surface becomes slightly charred. Serve with green onions
  thinly sliced on the bias, and lemon wedges.
