Lemon Tabasco Aioli
July 13, 2015
I went to happy hour at McCormick & Schmick’s, which is a seafood restaurant. I ordered the Crispy Shrimp Croutons with Lemon Tabasco Aioli. It was particularly delicious. Aioli is a Provençal traditional sauce made of garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and usually egg yolks. It's basically garlicy mayo. There are many variations. It is usually served at room temperature. The name aioli comes from Provençal alh 'garlic' and òli 'oil'.
- Prep: 1 hr 5 mins
