Equipment for Making Seafood Boil Sauce at Home

• Skillet

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Salted butter
• 1 Onion (diced)
• 8 Cloves Garlic (diced)
• 1⁄4 cup Cajun seasoning
• 2 tbsp Old Bay
• 1 tbsp Onion powder
• 1 1⁄2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Red pepper flakes
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. After melting all the butter, add the diced onions and let them cook for 5 minutes. Then add diced garlic and continue to cook in the butter for 3 minutes.
• Add in the cajun seasoning, old bay, onion powder, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Stir together and cook for 5 minutes. Then add chicken stock. Stir and allow the sauce to come to a boil, then simmer for 6–8 minutes to thicken.
• Remove from the heat and squeeze in lemon juice and parsley. Pour over cooked seafood and use any leftovers as a dipping sauce.
• Finally, serve it.

Note:

• You can adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more (or less) red pepper flakes. If you want to add extra spice, add a dash of hot sauce. I’m super sensitive to hot foods and would say that this sauce is pretty mild and flavorful. Taste as you go and adjust the ingredients as per your liking. See the recipe card for exact measurements.
• Dice onions and garlic as finely as possible. This step is crucial for the release of flavors during the cooking process in butter.
• If you prefer a thinner sauce, add another ½ cup of chicken stock.
• There are differences among cajun seasonings. Some brands are salt-free, and others include salt in their blend. Be mindful of this while cooking and taste as you go to prevent having a sauce that’s too spicy or too salty.
• If you’d like to add a little bit of umami flavor, add some Worcestershire sauce.
