Elevate your seafood appetizers with this irresistibly sweet and tangy Marmalade Sauce for Shrimp or Calamari, inspired by the crowd-favorite Outback Steakhouse recipe. This quick and easy sauce combines the bright citrus notes of orange marmalade with the bold zest of Dijon mustard, the natural sweetness of honey, and a subtle kick of cayenne pepper to create a perfectly balanced dipping sauce. Ready in just 5 minutes, it's an ideal accompaniment to crispy fried shrimp or tender calamari, bringing restaurant-quality flavor right to your kitchen. Whether you're hosting guests or enjoying a cozy night in, this homemade marmalade sauce guarantees to be the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
In a small mixing bowl, add the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, and cayenne pepper.
Using a whisk or spoon, mix the ingredients together until fully combined and smooth. Taste and adjust for sweetness or tanginess, if desired.
Transfer the marmalade sauce to a small serving bowl or ramekin if serving immediately.
If not serving right away, cover and store the sauce in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
Serve alongside crispy shrimp or calamari as a dipping sauce, and enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors!
