Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Creole mustard (or yellow mustard)
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning (or Cajun seasoning)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Tabasco)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion (scallion)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients. You will need a medium bowl for mixing.
  2. Place the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Creole mustard, horseradish, Creole seasoning, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce into the bowl.
  3. Add the chopped green onion, parsley, sweet pickle relish (if using), garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl.
  4. Use a whisk or spoon to mix all ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth and uniform in color.
  5. Taste the remoulade sauce. Adjust the hot sauce or Creole seasoning if you want more heat or spice.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to fully blend.
  7. Serve your homemade remoulade sauce with crab cakes, fried shrimp, po’boy sandwiches, or french fries.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, chill the sauce for at least one hour. The flavors deepen as it rests.
  • If you do not have Creole seasoning, you can substitute with a mix of salt, pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • This sauce is a great spicy mayonnaise alternative for sandwiches.
