Ingredients
- 2 large egg yolks
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed)
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Alternatively, use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Step 3
Slowly drizzle in the neutral oil while whisking vigorously to emulsify the mixture. Begin with a few drops of oil at a time, gradually increasing to a thin stream as the mixture thickens.
Step 4
Once half of the neutral oil is incorporated, whisk in the olive oil in the same manner, continuing to emulsify.
Step 5
Stir in the hot sauce, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 6
Transfer the aioli to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Serve as a dipping sauce, sandwich spread, or accompaniment to seafood dishes.
