This smoked paprika aioli is made with mayonnaise, garlic, smoked hot paprika and cilantro. It's spicy, smoky, tangy, garlicky and has a nice freshness from the herb. Use it as a dipping sauce for anything that typically needs a flavor boost, like fried fish, chicken nuggets or grilled shrimp.
My ingredient notes:
Aioli recipes often call for an acidic ingredient, such as lemon juice, but I find that that's not needed here. The mayonnaise has a nice tanginess and the cilantro adds a mild lemon flavor so that no citrus juice is needed.
