Remoulade
My family is obsessed with this amazing remoulade sauce and adds it to everything from shrimp to steak! Our readers have become as obsessed as we have!
What makes this remoulade sauce recipe so special is the perfect blend of Louisiana flavors, from Creole mustard and seasoning to Louisiana hot sauce.
What takes this easy sauce recipe over the top is the use of dill relish mixed with the mayo. It gives the sauce that perfect texture with a little bit of crunch that makes it so delicious for topping almost any recipe.
This was fantastic I used it with grilled fish sandwiches and I had used blackened seasoning on the fish. We loved it so much we dipped our fries as well. Will be using this again and again!

Remoulade Sauce FAQs
Louisiana remoulade sauce is a mildly spicy, tangy sauce with so much flavor. You might know it best as a shrimp or crab cake sauce, but it was originally meant to be served with beef dishes.
I make it using mayonnaise and Creole mustard base, mixed with hot sauce, lemon juice, dill relish, ketchup, and a blend of seasonings that makes the flavor pop.

What is the Creole Seasoning? I have never found that name for a Cajun spice. Love Remoulade Sauce. Anxious to make this.
Em Beitel says
Hi Linda! Creole seasoning is very similar to Cajun seasoning, but uses slightly different ingredients. You can use either kind for this recipe, so I would say if you have Cajun seasoning on hand, you could use that if you prefer. Otherwise, you should be able to find Creole seasoning bottled just like Cajun seasoning. Thank you and enjoy!
