  • 2 cloves garlic

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Peel the garlic and mince it finely. Sprinkle the salt over it and mash with the flat of the knife into a smooth paste.

  2. 2

    Chop the capers and parsley small, so the sauce spoons smoothly with no large pieces.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the mustard and lemon juice until smooth.

  4. 4

    Stir in the garlic paste, capers, parsley, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, paprika and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Cover the bowl and chill for at least 1 hour. The garlic and spices need that time to soften into the mayonnaise.

  6. 6

    Take the sauce out of the fridge 15 min before serving so it loses its harsh chill.

  7. 7

    Taste, then adjust with more salt, lemon juice or hot sauce. The sauce should taste tangy, peppery and pleasantly sharp.

  8. 8

    Serve cool, as a dip or spooned over fried or boiled seafood.
