Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Don't skip the one-hour refrigeration—this allows the cajun seasoning and tomato paste to fully integrate into the mayo base.
Start with 5 dashes of hot sauce and taste before adding more; spice intensity varies by brand.
Use fresh mayonnaise for the best flavor and texture; avoid low-fat varieties which can make the sauce thin.

Substitutions

Mayonnaise → Greek yogurt or sour cream (for a tangier, lighter sauce)
Cajun seasoning → homemade blend of paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion powder (if you lack pre-made mix)
Hot sauce → cayenne pepper or sriracha (adjust quantities to taste)
