In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Add the brussel sprouts, stir until coated in the butter, season with salt and pepper.
1 1/2 pounds frozen brussel sprouts, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally, 12-15 minutes.
Make a well in the center of the pan and melt the remaining butter.
Saute the garlic in the butter for 30 seconds, do not brown.
2 cloves garlic
Toss everything to combine, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Dry the Sprouts: Make sure your Brussels sprouts are dry before cooking to help them crisp up.
Hot Skillet: Use a hot skillet and medium-high heat to get a nice sear on the sprouts.
Single Layer: Cook the sprouts in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Cut Side Down: Place the Brussels sprouts cut side down in the pan to caramelize the flat surface.
Don’t Overcrowd: Give the sprouts enough room in the pan; if necessary, cook in batches.
Season Well: Don’t forget to season with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
