Louisiana Remoulade

What It Is

Mayonnaise, two mustards, lemon, hot sauce, garlic, capers, Worcestershire, paprika, scallion and cayenne make a punchy Louisiana-style remoulade for seafood, fries and sandwiches.

Origin

Remoulade began as a French sauce, but Louisiana developed its own bold versions, often with mustard, paprika, hot sauce and Creole or Cajun flavours.

Fun Fact

Louisiana remoulade is less a single immutable formula and more a family argument conducted with mayonnaise, mustard and paprika.

Substitutions

Regular mayonnaise works whether full-fat or light. Whole grain mustard can replace Dijon for more texture. Any hot sauce you already like can stand in for a Louisiana-style brand specifically.

Storage

Keep refrigerated in a clean sealed jar and use within about 5–7 days.

Freezing

Do not freeze. Mayo-based sauces thaw with the emotional stability of a reality-show reunion.
