Mixing diced jalapeños into a classic brown butter makes for a delightfully bright accompaniment for steamed clams or lobster. The mixture can be used on corn bread to great effect as well. You can easily omit the peppers if you don't like spice. Brown butter on its own is pretty great.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a small sauce pan set over medium heat, and when it foams, add the diced jalapeño.
- Continue cooking, swirling the mixture occasionally and stirring with a spoon to prevent the milk solids from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the butter has turned brown and gives off a toasted, nutty aroma, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly before tasting and add salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately with steamed clams, or as a sauce for sautéed fish.
