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

Gosh, I think this sauce would go perfectly with salmon. I will try very soon!
We are going to have seafood this weekend. This Sauce will be perfect!
I made this with crab cakes last week. My son loved it! Thank you!
Hi Jamie!
This delicious sauce was served with some tuna patties tonight, but I will definitely be trying your crab cakes soon!
Many thanks, Ashley
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!
Thanks Tara! Great idea using this to dip fries!
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.
Thanks Letisha! Great idea adding liquid smoke!
Made your sauce for crab cakes. Omg so so good! Added to family recipe book. Thank you,
Daniel
I’m so glad to hear that Daniel!
This was awesome. So easy but soooo good
This reminds me of a delicious sauce I had 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!
Tried this with crab cakes. Easy & very tasty!
I hate cooking but decided to make this sauce with my crab cakes. It was super easy and so good! I did add a little more lemon juice. Great recipe!
Thanks for giving it a try Jeri! So glad you liked it!
Delicious! What is the serving size for this sauce per person? Thank you!
Pretty good! It has a little kick to it. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for trying it out Kathy!
We’re going to try this sounds amazing
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!
Thank you Aria! So happy to hear you and your husband loved it! 🙂
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!
Just tried this recipe with crab cakes and fried shrimp and my family loved it. Thank you so much!
This sauce is absolutely delicious. Next time I make crab cakes I’m going to make this!
This sauce is EVERYTHING! Love it with Salmon.
Thanks Jess! 🙂
This is MOUTHWATERING! The sauce has everything going for it – zest, smokiness, creaminess and the perfect balance of flavours. Yum!
Thanks Jeannette! Glad to hear you liked it!
