This creamy, lemony, smokey, and spicy remoulade sauce pairs amazingly with any seafood! It makes a wonderful crab cake sauce or po’ boy sauce.
What is Remoulade Sauce?
Remoulade sauce was invented in France as a condiment originally meant for french fries but has since transformed into different varieties (though you could certainly use this for dipping french fries). This recipe is more like a Louisiana remoulade because of the paprika, cayenne, and mustard. It pairs well with seafood, especially these baked crab cakes, and contains a healthy amount of tang from the lemon juice and a nice hint of spice from the cayenne pepper.
Use this remoulade the following ways:
- crab cake sauce or po' boy sauce
- slather some on fried soft shell crab
- dip for fried shrimp, crawfish, or calamari

My husband is a big fan of a seafood platter, and we usually just buy a sauce to go with it. As it was our anniversary, I wanted to do something a little special. I made this sauce and we both loved it.
Delicious with shrimp, calamari etc - superb!
