What Makes This Recipe So Good
The flavor is out-of-this-world incredible! I mean, it makes sense. Just look at the ingredients. Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, tomato paste, and hot sauce, all blended into a creamy tangy mayo base. How could it not be delicious?Cajun sauce is super easy to make. There’s no cooking, no chopping, barely any mixing… you don’t even have to chill the sauce if you don’t want to or don’t have time.It’s ridiculously versatile. Use it as a dipping sauce for fried shrimp or chicken tenders or zucchini chips. Spread it on a burger or add a dollop to a giant plate of fries. Or, my favorite – pair it with a bag of Zapp’s potato chips (Voodoo or Spicy Cajun Crawtators both highly recommended).
Chef’s Tips
You control the heat here, so adjust the ingredients as needed to make your cajun sauce as mild or as hot as you like it. I recommend starting out with the smallest amounts called for in the recipe, then taste and adjust from there. Chilling the sauce is optional, but encouraged. It’ll give the spices a chance to really deepen and intensify, but the sauce will be delicious right away so don’t panic if you don’t have time to chill. Also, since the flavors will develop more, be careful if you’re increasing the amount of spices in the recipe.
