Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Creole Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Prepared Horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1–2 teaspoons Hot Sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Capers (drained and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Scallions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the fresh parsley and scallions finely to ensure they blend evenly throughout the sauce, releasing their fresh, aromatic qualities.
- Combine the Base: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Add Seasonings and Heat: Stir in the hot sauce, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt to introduce the signature Louisiana kick without overwhelming the other flavors.
- Fold in Fresh Additions: Gently incorporate the chopped scallions, parsley, and capers to add texture, freshness, and bursts of briny goodness to the sauce.
- Adjust to Taste and Chill: Taste your remoulade sauce and tweak the seasoning if needed. Then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully before serving.
Notes
- Make Ahead Timing: Let the sauce rest in the fridge for a few hours or overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
- Balance Heat and Tang: Always taste as you add hot sauce and lemon juice to avoid overpowering the sauce.
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use fresh parsley and scallions rather than dried for vibrant color and crisp flavor.
- Storage Containers: Keep leftovers in an airtight glass container to preserve freshness and prevent odors.
- Consistency Check: If the sauce feels too thick, thin slightly with a splash of water or lemon juice until you reach your desired texture.
