Description

A creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy Louisiana-style remoulade sauce that pairs perfectly with crab cakes, seafood, sandwiches, or fries.


Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chives, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  2. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Chill briefly or serve immediately with crab cakes or your preferred seafood.

Notes

  • For extra heat, double the cayenne pepper or add hot sauce.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or tarragon can enhance the flavor.
  • Swap half the mayo with sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamier texture.
  • Add Creole seasoning or Old Bay for a spiced version.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
