- 2 tsp. cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp. paprika
- ½ cup chicken stock or fish stock
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- ½ lemon juiced
Instructions
- Mince onions and garlic finely.
- To a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add minced onions and garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, around 5 minutes. Add spices and cook for 1-2 minutes. This helps the dried spices to really reach their full flavor potential.
- Whisk in broth and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
- To finish, add lemon juice and fresh parsley.
- Serve poured over top your seafood or as a dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- You'll notice there is a lack of salt added to this recipe, and that's because Old Bay and cajun seasoning can both be quite salty! Feel free to add salt to taste.
- This seafood boil recipe can be made ahead of time and reheated on the stove when ready to enjoy. It will solidify when placed in the fridge because of the butter, but will melt back to its original state after a minute or two of low heat on the stove.
