What is remoulade sauce?
Remoulade dressing is a French condiment, but we know it best for its use in Cajun and Creole recipes out of Louisiana!
If you have ever had a Louisiana shrimp po boy sandwich, then you’ve most likely already tried remoulade sauce. If you haven’t… now’s the time!
But Cajun and Creole remoulade work for so much more than as just shrimp po boy sauce. This mildly spicy, creamy sauce recipe pairs with everything from seafood and fish to chicken and beef – even prime rib!
We love it on everything! It’s such a hit in my house, I keep a jar of it in the fridge as much as possible.
Cajun Remoulade
Our remoulade sauce recipe is a perfect blend of Louisiana flavors, from Creole mustard and seasoning to Louisiana hot sauce.
What really takes this easy sauce recipe over the top is the use of dill relish. It gives the sauce that perfect texture with a little bit of crunch that makes it so delicious for topping almost any recipe.
Take it from me: this recipe is a meal-saver. One year, I accidentally overcooked my roast beef for a holiday meal. I was so upset – it was a prime rib! The last thing you want to overcook!
This Cajun remoulade saved the day. I whipped it up in 10 minutes and paired it with slices of prime rib, and no one noticed it was a little overcooked.
It made the whole meal so juicy and delicious and everyone enjoyed trying something a little different for the holidays. Now, this easy remoulade sauce is my secret weapon for fixing so many dishes.
What does remoulade taste like?
It’s a mildly spicy, tangy sauce with so much flavor. You might know it best as a shrimp or crab cake sauce, but it was actually originally meant to be served with beef dishes.
We make ours using a mayonnaise and Creole mustard base, mixed with hot sauce, lemon juice, dill relish, ketchup, and a blend of seasonings that really makes the flavor pop.

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!
