Tips:

Fresh is best: Use fresh snow peas and green peas for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen peas, thaw them completely before cooking.
Blanch the snow peas: Blanching the snow peas helps to preserve their bright green color and crisp texture. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the snow peas and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the snow peas and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Use unsalted butter: Unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in the dish. If using salted butter, omit the additional salt in the recipe.
Season to taste: Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.

Conclusion:

This simple yet delicious dish is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of spring. The buttered snow peas and green peas are perfectly complemented by the tangy lemon sauce. Serve with grilled or roasted chicken or fish for a complete meal.
