How to serve

We’ve cooked tofu in it. It’s great on fish. We’ve done shrimp, and drizzled it over veggies. Over a baked potato. I bet you could add a couple spoonfuls to chili to make it amazing!

For a great oven baked shrimp, take a look at these easy instructions.

When we cook fish with this sauce, we grilled the fish to perfection, and poured about 3 tablespoons of sauce over the 2 fish fillets. And, I’ll be posting a recipe for making shrimp in this Spicy Smoke Sauce soon.

This Spicy Smoke Sauce is based on my Spicy Cajun Cod recipe.

How to easily measure

I like to put the dried ingredients in the recipe first so that you can keep your measuring spoons clean.

You’ll also notice that in the recipe I call for vegetable broth paste. I use Better than Bouillion paste now most of the time (unless I have homemade).

It’s easy; it’s tasty; it lasts a long time in the fridge, and you can get an organic one. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a go. The links are my Amazon affiliate links, so I might earn a little money if you click and buy some. I’ve also been told that the mushroom one from them is great!

    I love how versatile this this sauce is, so many uses! Have you ever frozen the leftovers? If you ever have any I should add, LOL! It sounds so good!

  3. Janette (@culinaryginger)

    This is a delicious sauce. I can think of so many uses, can’t wait to try it.

  5. Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy

    I would want to put this sauce on everything! Putting it on tofu sounds amazing.

  6. shockinglydelicious

    I do exactly the same — put dried ingredients in first so I don’t wet the measuring spoons before I need to! I adore the Better than Bullion mushroom base. It’s great!

  7. Debi

    Debra, I haven’t frozen it, but I bet it would work really well. In fact, I have some leftover from making this batch, so I think I’ll pop it in the freezer now to see how it goes. I would say it could be frozen in 2 way: 1) pour it in ice cube trays so you get little serving amounts, or 2) freeze the larger amount in a tupperware or a jar and defrost in the microwave. I think I’ll do the latter and see how the defrosting goes. Thanks for the idea!

  8. KC the Kitchen Chopper

    I absolutely have to try this. I love that the heat factor can be dialed up or down. Such a beautiful color and I bet the flavor IS amazing.

    Hi Debi, Have you used this when grilling or baking chicken, similar to using barbecue sauce? Would you marinate the meat in this before cooking, or baste as it cooks?

  11. Debi

    Kouten, we haven’t used the sauce on chicken, it’s pretty rare that we cook chicken around here. We have used it for grilling fish. I think chicken needs to be marinated, so I’d go for like 4 hrs to marinate. Then grill. Also, save some of the sauce (without having put it on the chicken), and use that sauce as a finishing sauce, pouring it over the chicken right at the end.

  20. Healing Tomato

    We are about to BBQ some Tofu and other veggies. This is the perfect recipe for that. I like the fact that you didn’t shy away from making it truly spicy. Paprika, Cayenne and Sriracha is the perfect spice level. My guests are Indian and they consider this combination to be normal. Great recipe, Debi
