Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to the saucepan. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Stir in the honey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is well blended and slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the finely chopped parsley.
Use the basting sauce immediately by brushing it over seafood during the last few minutes of grilling, or allow it to cool slightly and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
