This bright, bold and spicy sauce can double as a dip for boiled potatoes, corn or any seafood. Try it with shrimp, scallops, squid or any white-fleshed fish.—Soo Kim
1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1⁄2 tsp Cajun seasoning, such as Club House
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp Louisiana-style hot sauce
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low until solids sink to bottom and foam appears on top, 10 min. Remove from heat. Skim off foam and discard.
Add garlic, Cajun seasoning, paprika and salt, stirring until dissolved. Stir in lemon juice and hot sauce. Transfer to a ramekin, leaving solids in the saucepan. Serve warm.
