We’ve been a fan of Bloveslife for years now and was excited to see her Smackalicious seasoning mix sold on Amazon. It’s one of the best seafood boil sauces out there so it’s often sold out. We decided to create this copycat recipe so we always have some on hand. This sauce is amazing and can be used with a variety of seafood and vegetables. We serve this sauce with our Cajun Seafood Boil in a Bag.

Ingredients Needed to Make Bloves Seafood Boil Sauce

Seasoning Mix Ingredients

These spices and herbs will be added to the butter sauce. See the recipe card for exact measurements.

  • garlic powder
  • paprika
  • cayenne pepper, optional – Use more if you prefer a spicy sauce.
  • onion powder
  • oregano
  • lemon pepper – We went heavy on the lemon pepper because we love a citrusy sauce! You can also add in some lemon zest for extra lemony flavor.
  • chili powder
  • Cajun seasoning – Our favorite Cajun spice mix is made by Tony Chachere.
  • old bay seasoning
  • mustard powder
  • celery seeds
  • umami powder, optional – We know some of you have a sensitivity to MSG so we formulated this copycat recipe with an umami blend that replaces this ingredient. Experience that 5th sense of taste with this savory blend.

Butter Sauce Ingredients

  • salted butter – You’ll need 4 sticks of butter. Yes, four!
  • red onion – Or you can go with white or yellow onion.
  • fresh garlic cloves
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • chicken broth or chicken stock
  • spicy honey – We love Trader Joe’s Hot Honey and Mike’s Hot Honey
  • hot sauce – You can substitute this with tabasco sauce.
  • freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • pickled ginger- Do a quick pickle by combining boiling water, rice wine vinegar, honey and salt. Pour over sliced ginger in a mason jar. Let come to room temperature and rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • white vinegar – Red wine vinegar and apple cider vinegar also work well in this recipe.
  • fresh parsley
  • kosher salt and black pepper, to taste – We actually didn’t need to add any additional salt so be sure to taste your sauce before adding.
