This spicy aioli blends garlicky mayonnaise with a double dose of heat from cayenne and hot sauce, brightened with fresh lemon juice. Whisked together rather than emulsified from scratch, it comes together quickly and works as a dip, sandwich spread, or drizzle over roasted vegetables and seafood.
Ingredients

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Method
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, hot sauce, and lemon juice until smooth.
-
Whisk in the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt until evenly incorporated.
-
Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to give the aioli a silky finish.
-
Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
