Notes

You can make your own seafood seasoning using the following: 1/4 teaspoon of: onion powder, garlic powder, crushed bay leaves, dried parsley, and dried chives. You can also simply use your preferred seasoning.
I use the microwave to soften the butter for about 15 seconds.
The white wine plays a key role in the flavor of this dish. You can substitute it for broth, but it will not taste exactly the same.
The sauce is the KEY to the flavor of this dish. Dip every bite you take in the sauce for maximum flavor.
