This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the escargot. However, the garlic butter sauce was delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of escargot, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The escargot were tender and the garlic butter sauce was flavorful. I would definitely make this again if I was in the mood for escargot.

I've never had escargot before, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The texture was a bit chewy, but the flavor was amazing. The garlic butter sauce was the perfect complement to the escargot.
