What makes this recipe yummy

Spice it up as much as you want with hot sauce - if you prefer more heat in your sauce then go ahead friend!

This sauce has French roots, as does a lot of New Orleans food, but we made it our own here by adding more spice.

Recipe walkthrough: Instructions

This is an overview of the recipe steps. For more detailed instructions visit the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

  • Step 1: Add all ingredients to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Step 2: Give a good stir with a whisk.
  • Step 3: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour (or more).
  • Step 4: Serve.

Hint: Allowing the remoulade sauce to sit in the refrigerator for an hour or more will allow the flavors to come together better and have a more complex bite.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas

  • Creole Mustard - instead of stoneground. It's similar, but with more spice.
  • Lemon Juice - instead of vinegar for the acid.
  • Garlic - lends great flavor.
  • Pickles - add some chopped pickles or even capers, for more tang.
  • Creole Seasoning - instead of simple salt and pepper.

Mel's Kitchen Notes

Wash out a used ketchup bottle and make a double batch of this recipe. Use a funnel to pour into the bottle, then you've got an easy pour bottle for this amazing sauce.
