How to make Escargots à la Bourguignonne

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 232°C.

Using a heavy knife, mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/8 teaspoons table salt.

Beat together butter, shallot, garlic paste, parsley, remaining 1/4 teaspoons table salt, and pepper in a small bowl with an electric mixer until combined well. Beat in wine until combined well.

Divide half of garlic butter among snail shells. Stuff 1 snail into each shell and top snails with remaining butter. Spread kosher salt in a shallow baking dish and nestle shells, butter sides up, in salt.

Bake snails until butter is melted and sizzling, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve immediately.
