Whip up this bold, creamy Louisiana Remoulade Sauce at home. It is the best zesty condiment for your crab cakes, po boys, and fried seafood.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Creole mustard or Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Tabasco)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion (scallion)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients. You need a good base for this bold flavor sauce.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Whisk these wet ingredients until they are smooth.
  3. Add the dry seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate the spices evenly.
  4. Stir in the fresh green onion and parsley. Mix until the herbs are distributed throughout the sauce.
  5. Taste the sauce. If you want more tang, add a few drops more lemon juice. If you want more spice, add a dash more hot sauce or cayenne.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the remoulade sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together, creating a truly authentic taste.
  7. Serve your homemade zesty sauce with fried shrimp, crab cakes, or as a po boy sauce.

Notes

  • For a thicker, more traditional Creole Remoulade Sauce, you can reduce the amount of lemon juice slightly.
  • This sauce is excellent for keto diets if you use a sugar-free ketchup or omit it entirely, focusing on the mustard and horseradish for tang.
  • This flavorful mayo based sauce keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
