Notes

Recipe Card Tips

  • Turn the heat off completely before adding the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and water. This keeps the sauce from breaking.
  • Use unsalted butter. Between the Cajun seasoning and Worcestershire sauce, this dish is naturally salty already.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and fresh garlic rather than bottled or jarred. Both make a noticeable difference in a recipe this simple.
