Blove’s Sauce went viral on YouTube for a GOOD reason! It was invented by a YouTuber Blove, known for doing Mukbang – videos where creators eat large amounts of food with a live audience. The seafood dipping sauce became so popular that it’s selling on Amazon as Bloves Smackalicious Sauce (mild or spicy). Many people are crazy about this sauce and it’s been recreated thousands of times. Now you can make it at home from scratch too!

By making this recipe yourself, you can play around with the spices to make your perfect custom ratios. Whether you want to go all out and have a seafood boil at home, or you’re just looking for a new sauce to add to your classic dinners, this sauce is going to change your seafood game.

What is Blove Sauce?

This delicious sauce was created by YouTuber Bethany Gaskin, known for her channel Blovelife (pronounced B Love). At its core, this sauce is a butter and garlic sauce, but Blove created a combination of 10 different spices, as well as a few other seasonings, to create a spicy sauce that’s bursting with flavor. It’s a relatively simple way to elevate your standard boiled seafood.

What does it taste like? This sauce is buttery, rich, spicy, and loaded with flavorful spices. It has balanced sweet, savory, and spicy flavors with a hint of tanginess. You can adjust the heat to your preference, but whether mild or super spicy, it’s still loaded with flavor.

Ingredients for this SUPER Flavorful Smackalicious Sauce

  • Seasoning Mix (10 ingredients, 1 tablespoon of each): It includes garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, oregano, lemon pepper, chili powder, Cajun spice mix, and Old Bay seasoning.
  • Garlic (3 cloves to 1 whole bulb): Use fresh garlic for the best results. Feel free to add more garlic for the extra garlicky flavor.
  • Onion (1/4): I used yellow onions, but you can use white onions too.
  • Unsalted Butter (4 sticks): It adds a rich and creamy flavor to the sauce. It’s best to use unsalted butter so that you can control the salt level.
  • Worcestershire Sauce (1 tablespoon): Don’t skip this ingredient as it adds a nice tangy, savory, and sweet flavor to your sauce.
  • Brown Sugar (1 tablespoon): You can also use regular white granulated sugar.
  • Salt (to taste, I used 1/8 teaspoon): For seasoning.
  • Chicken Broth (1 cup): I recommend low-sodium broth to lower the salt intake.

Optional: vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, tabasco sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and minced ginger.

For its true purpose, use it either as a dip with already boiled seafood or toss it in oven bags along with your seafood and use it as the boiling liquid.
