Remoulade Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons grainy mustard (or Creole mustard)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon creamed horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (such as Tony Chachere’s)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Finely mince the garlic clove and chop the fresh parsley carefully to ensure they incorporate well into the sauce, providing smooth texture and fresh flavor.
- Mix the Base: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grainy or Creole mustard, creamed horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add the Seasonings: Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper if you desire some added heat. Mix again until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
- Incorporate the Herbs: Gently fold in the chopped fresh parsley until it’s fully incorporated, adding a fresh herbal note to the sauce.
- Chill and Serve: For best flavor, chill the remoulade sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve as a dip, spread, or accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
Notes
- Adjust cayenne pepper quantity to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Use Creole mustard for a more authentic spicy flavor.
- The sauce keeps well refrigerated for up to one week when stored in an airtight container.
- Perfect accompaniment for seafood dishes like crab cakes, fried shrimp, or grilled fish.
- You can substitute fresh lemon juice with lime juice for a slightly different citrus note.
