    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

      We made this remoulade sauce and your crab cakes - both were a hit with the whole family! We served with a green salad and it was quickly a family favorite dinner in no time! Can't wait to make it again soon!

      I am not a seafood fan, but this sauce has always been one of my favourites! I just purchased an air fryer, so I made a batch of sweet potato fries to serve with the sauce. Yum! Truly so tasty - I will be making it again for sure!

      This is so tasty - we used it as a burger sauce with some crispy fish burgers! So good. Was excellent on crab cakes we made earlier this month too.

      Love this sauce! It's a great complement to crab cakes. I didn't have smoked paprika, so I substituted a couple of shakes of Liquid Smoke.

      This reminds me of a delicious sauce I had in Seattle several years ago. We added 1/2 tablespoon of ketchup which added a hint of sweetness.

      I purchased shrimp burgers and tried them with cocktail sauce and didn't care for them. A coworker suggested trying them with roumalade. I found your recipevand the roumalade was delicious. I live a low sodium lifestyle so I tweeked the recipe a little. I used 1/2 mayo and half plain Greek yogurt and eliminated the salt. My hubby said this recipe is a keeper! Thank you!

      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!

      I always put this remoulade on fried shrimp and salmon. Just recently added it to a fish sandwich which made it so much better! Thank you!

      This is MOUTHWATERING! The sauce has everything going for it - zest, smokiness, creaminess and the perfect balance of flavours. Yum!
