1

Melt the butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat.

2

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

3

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Mix well.

4

Sprinkle in the Creole seasoning, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
