Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients: peel and finely mince the garlic. Squeeze the juice from the limes.
2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Be careful not to burn it; you just want it nicely melted.
3
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4
Sprinkle in the curry powder and stir thoroughly to release the spices' aromas. Cook for an additional minute.
5
Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the lime juice. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
6
Season with salt and pepper to taste. If needed, add a little more lime juice for a brighter flavor.
7
Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
