What is Remoulade Sauce

Remoulade sauce is a cold, tangy condiment that originated in France. It is typically made with a mayonnaise or aioli base and flavored with a mixture of herbs, spices, and other ingredients such as capers, pickles, mustard, and anchovies.

There are many variations of remoulade sauce, but it is commonly used as a topping or dip for seafood, such as crab cakes, shrimp, and oysters, as well as for fried foods like chicken and potatoes.

With its French origin, you can see why it has a heavy influence on Louisiana cuisine. This version of remoulade sauce is often used as a dipping sauce for seafood, and it includes ingredients such as paprika and hot sauce. Some versions use horseradish, I don't but feel free to!

How Does it Taste

It has a creamy and smooth texture, thanks to the mayo. If you aren't a fan of mayo, this is not the sauce for you. It has a rich, tangy flavor with a slightly sweet and sour undertone, and a hint of spiciness from the spices.

How to Store Remoulade Sauce

It will last in the fridge for 3-4 days tightly covered and sealed. Before using it, give it a good stir to ensure the ingredients are well combined. If the sauce has separated or become too thick, you can add a bit of water or lemon juice to thin it out. Always taste the sauce before serving to make sure it still tastes fresh and flavorful.

Freezer tips

I don't recommend freezing. Freezing will alter the texture and consistency of the sauce, and some of the ingredients may not hold up well during the freezing and thawing process.
