Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Creole mustard
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Crystal or Tabasco)
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion (scallion)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients. You need a medium bowl for mixing.
  2. Place the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Creole mustard, prepared horseradish, hot sauce, yellow mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper into the bowl.
  3. Use a whisk or spoon to mix these ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and uniform in color.
  4. Stir in the chopped green onion, fresh parsley, and lemon juice until they are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
  5. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed; add more hot sauce for extra heat or salt for flavor.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the remoulade sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to fully combine.
  7. Serve your homemade remoulade sauce with fried shrimp, crab cakes, Po’boy sandwiches, or french fries.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, make this sauce ahead of time. The flavors deepen after chilling for several hours.
  • If you do not have Creole mustard, substitute with an additional tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
  • This sauce is a great spicy mayo alternative for sandwiches and burgers.
