For a smokier flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of ancho chile pepper. If you don't have seafood seasoning on hand, a pinch of cayenne pepper and some garlic powder can work as a substitute. Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice to your liking, depending on your preferred level of tanginess. This sauce is also delicious on grilled chicken or vegetables.
