Fresh Ingredients:

4–6 sticks unsalted butter (about 500–750g)
4–5 garlic cloves
1/4 sweet onion
1 teaspoon minced ginger – optional
1 tablespoon Tabasco (or any hot sauce)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Optional Add-Ins:

Red pepper flakes

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dry Seasoning Mix

Combine all dry seasonings in a large bowl.
Mix well and set aside.

Step 2: Prep the Fresh Ingredients

Peel and mince the garlic.
Chop the onion into small pieces.
Blend garlic and onion together briefly (don’t over-blend; keep it slightly coarse).

Step 3: Cook the Sauce

Heat a pot over medium to low heat.
Add 4 sticks of butter and let it melt.
Once melted, add the blended garlic and onion.
Add minced ginger (if using) – be careful not to add too much.
Stir in 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce.
Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
Pour in the dry seasoning mix.
Stir well to combine.
Let the sauce simmer gently.
Add 2 more sticks of butter if you prefer a richer, saucier consistency.

Step 4: Adjust the Flavor

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Add more butter if the sauce is too thick.
Add more cayenne for extra heat.
Add more brown sugar for sweetness.

How to Use

Dip your cooked seafood directly into the sauce.
Or toss the seafood in the sauce inside a large bowl or bag.
The butter will coat the seafood, leaving a rich, flavorful seasoning on every bite.

Notes

This recipe makes a generous amount of sauce (perfect for 2 people sharing a big seafood feast).
You can halve the ingredients for a smaller batch.
Always taste as you go and adjust to your liking.
Go easy on the ginger—it has a strong flavor.
This sauce is meant for dipping, not eating by itself.
Every seasoning can be adjusted to your personal preference.
