Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small shallot, finely chopped

• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup fish stock
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the tomato paste to slightly deepen in color.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, white wine, and fish stock. Stir thoroughly to combine.

Step 5

Season the sauce with paprika, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add the hot sauce for extra heat, if desired.

Step 8

Once the sauce has reduced to your liking, stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley to brighten the flavor.

Step 9

Serve the sauce warm in a dipping bowl or drizzle it over your favorite seafood dishes.
