Instructions
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until fully melted.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, brown sugar, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using). Stir well until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are incorporated.
