Peri-Peri Sauce

A fiery hot pepper sauce, my Peri-Peri Sauce recipe is not for the faint of heart, although it can be tamed down for those wanting a slightly milder sauce. My homemade Peri-Peri Sauce recipe can be used as either a side or a marinade. It has a citrusy, garlicky kick that is great with both chicken and seafood or to possibly light up a Bloody Mary cocktail.
