This remoulade sauce is bright, just a wee bit spicy, citrusy, salty, and, quite frankly, makes everything taste better. With an in-your-face punch of lemon zest and the perfect salty bite of capers, this remoulade is the definition of flavor-packed. It’s elegant enough to elevate a delicate fish or seafood dish, but rugged enough to transform a simple slaw, potato salad, pasta salad, or deviled eggs into something truly gourmet. Forget the boring mayo. Once you get a taste of this zesty, savory remoulade, you’ll be putting it on everything.
B.O.B. Bob and I have a favorite restaurant that we love to frequent. It’s part of a chain; however, it’s a small local chain. And each of their restaurants is just a wee bit different. The particular location we adore so much features a ton of seafood. And when it comes to their shrimp roll, y’all, I don’t think there’s a better one out there. The shrimp are always perfectly fried. Tender, mild, succulent, and just totally droolworthy. But it’s the remoulade sauce they use on it, and serve beside it, that’s just the over-the-top, oh my lordy, this is the best thing I’ve ever eaten, stand-out. So, after so many years of saying, over and over again to myself, that I wanted to replicate this remoulade sauce, I finally decided to give it a go. News alert, it didn’t happen. This remoulade recipe, right here, is nowhere near the same. However, it’s so crazy freaking tasty that I just couldn’t help but still share it with y’all. It has a super-lemony flavor and a briney caper bite that’s just gosh-darn fantastic. So much so that I’m excited to add it to just about everything. Deviled eggs, coleslaw, potato salad, and even pasta salad. Get ready to see this remoulade sauce featured often in our upcoming recipes. Because yeah, it’s just that phenomenal.
