Cajun Garlic Butter Sauce Recipe

Here’s a delicious Cajun Garlic Butter Sauce recipe — perfect for seafood boils, dipping, steak, or drizzling over vegetables and pasta.

 Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

• 8–10 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to spice level)

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional for depth)

• Salt, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 Instructions:

1. Melt Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter slowly so it doesn’t brown.

2. Sauté Garlic: Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, not browned.

3. Add Spices: Stir in Cajun seasoning, paprika, onion powder, cayenne, and salt. Let it cook for 30–60 seconds to bloom the spices.

4. Finish Sauce:

   • Stir in lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce (if using).

   • Simmer on low for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Garnish & Serve:

   • Sprinkle chopped parsley on top.

   • Serve warm over seafood, steak, or veggies — or use as a dip.

Tips:

• Make it spicier? Add more cayenne or a splash of hot sauce.

• Homemade Cajun seasoning: Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
