To prepare, you typically combine the contents of the packet with butter or oil and a liquid such as water or white wine in a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined. You can then toss cooked pasta and your chosen seafood directly into the sauce, or pour the finished sauce over pan-fried or baked seafood. Adjusting the amount of liquid can alter the sauce's thickness to your preference.
