2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/3 cup seafood stock
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
Black pepper to taste

Directions

In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoon unsalted butter and the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
Add in the seafood stock and simmer for an additional 2 - 3 minutes.
