Stone Crab Dipping Sauce: Citrus Kick You’Ll Crave

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time0 minutes
Total Time9 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (the creamy base that keeps things luxurious)
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (adds a sharp bite)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (bright and sunny)
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest (the cheeky citrus punch)
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (adjust to your heat tolerance)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (for attitude)
  • 1/4 tsp paprika (smoke with no drama)
  • Salt to taste (yes, taste it)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (a little kick)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth. It should look like a tiny cloudy sunset.
  • Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, hot sauce, and paprika. The mix should wake up, not hide in the back of the fridge.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Taste, then adjust tang or heat if needed—nobody enjoys a one-note dip.
  • Chill the sauce for 15–20 minutes if you can swing it. It lets the flavors get friendlier with each other.
  • Serve with stone crab claws and watch your guests become dip enthusiasts. Dip, savor, repeat.
