The great thing about this sauce is you can control the heat with your choice of hot sauce. Something like Louisiana, Tapatio, Cholula, or Frank's Red Hot will make your sauce more tangy and zesty than spicy. You can always opt for something with more heat if you prefer!
Cajun dipping sauce is smooth and creamy with a slight kick. It is delicious on just about anything you could dip in sauce! It even makes a tasty spread for burgers or sandwiches.
