Combine peas, butter, sugar, and garlic in a medium-sized skillet.
Cook at medium heat until butter is melted and peas are heated through about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Remove from heat and drain off any liquid.
Add salt and pepper. Serve.
- Don't boil! Just don't do it. I know the package tells you to, but don't. Trust me.
- Add a little sugar to the peas. It's okay, it won't taste weird and it will bring out the natural sweetness.
- Don't add salt until ready to serve. Salting them too early can dehydrate them and they (obviously) won't be as sweet. Salt them after they have cooked and you can salt to taste.
