👩🍳 Instructions
1
Combine smoked paprika, cayenne, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
2
Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 45–60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
3
Lower heat to low and add butter pieces to the pan. Stir as butter melts.
4
Once butter is mostly liquid, add the seasoning mix and stir for 30–45 seconds to bloom the spices.
5
Stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning. If too thick, add 1–2 teaspoons of hot water to loosen.
6
Use immediately over seafood, pasta, vegetables, or grilled meats. Cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days; reheat gently.
