Homemade lemon aioli is a perfect dipping sauce for fried shrimp and other seafood dishes! Join Eric from Simply Elegant Home Cooking as he shows you how to easily put together this restaurant quality dipping sauce in under 5 minutes! Some aioli recipes call for the use of store bought mayonnaise, however it is best to create your own emulsion using an egg yolk and oil. While this version of lemon aioli pairs perfect with seafood, this is more of a technique than a recipe and you can use the same method and swap out the lemon for whatever other flavors you want to highlight to customize the pairing with your cooking.

Ingredients:
-3/8 cup vegetable oil
-3/8 cup olive oil
-1 egg yolk (Eric prefers to use organic free range eggs!)
-Juice from 1 lemon
-2 medium cloves of garlic
-Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
-Juice 1 medium lemon.
-Peel 2 medium cloves of garlic and give a rough chop
-Separate the yolk of one egg and discard the egg white.
-Place the egg yolk, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper into a food processor. Blitz a few times until the large pieces of garlic are broken up.
-Combine the olive oil and vegetable oil into 1 cup.
-With the food processor blade running, SLOWLY add the oil. Do not add the oil too fast or the sauce will not emulsify.
-After adding the oil, taste the aioli for seasoning and consistency. If the sauce is not thick enough, turn the blade back on and slowly add a small amount more oil until your desired consistency has been achieved.
-Serve and enjoy with your favorite seafood dish or really any dish!
