  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  2. Add spices and Worcestershire sauce: Stir in paprika, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until these ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
  3. Incorporate fresh herbs and onions: Fold in the finely chopped green onions and fresh parsley, ensuring they are mixed evenly for texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce to control the spiciness based on your preference.
  • For a smoother sauce, you can blend the ingredients briefly in a food processor.
  • This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Try serving it as a dip for fried seafood, as a sandwich spread, or drizzled over grilled vegetables.
  • Fresh lemon juice is key for brightness; avoid bottled lemon juice to maintain vibrant flavor.
