A seafood boil is the king of the summertime throughout much of the South. It can be made with any seafood you desire, and the only sauce you need is a simple butter topping.

All you need to make this sauce is some salted butter, chicken stock, diced yellow onion and garlic, lemon juice, and your seasonings of choice.

To make this sauce, simply melt butter in a pan. As it bubbles up, sauté some diced onions into the mixture and once the onions are browned, add the other spices and ingredients.

Simmer the mix low and slow so the flavors are thoroughly incorporated. As the aromatics fill your kitchen, squeeze in your lemon juice for a brightening splash of citrus.

You can drizzle the butter sauce onto your seafood boil, or, for less of a mess, pour it into small bowls and serve it on the side.
