How to Make Shallot Butter Sauce For Seafood Bbq

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until translucent and golden brown.
  2. Whisk in 1/4 cup beer (any light beer works well), 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  3. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens and becomes syrupy.
  4. Reduce heat to very low. Add 4 tablespoons of cold butter, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly until each addition is fully melted and incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco, Frank's RedHot) and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the sauce warm, spooning it generously over your favorite grilled seafood.
