Remoulade sauce was originally created as a condiment to accompany meat, but has since evolved into a preferred dipping sauce for seafood and so much more!

Can you freeze Louisiana remoulade sauce?
The quick answer is no.
Mayonnaise doesn’t freeze well, because freezing breaks down the emulsion. When it thaws, it will have a soupy consistency.
