Chop the garlic and crush with a mortar and pestle.
Wash the limpets, open them and detach the mollusk with the point of a knife.
Place the open shells in a ribbed iron grill pan.
Place a little garlic and a small piece of unsalted butter onto each one (salted butter will toughen them).
Place under the broiler for a few seconds and remove as soon as the butter starts to sizzle.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and enjoy.
