How to Make Creole Remoulade Spicy
Kick up the spice level of my easy remoulade sauce recipe by adding extra Louisiana hot sauce. Give it 2 to 3 Tablespoons of hot sauce and you will have an amazing spicy remoulade.
What is Remoulade?
Remoulade (pronunciation: rey-moo-lahd) sauce is a French condiment common to Creole and Cajun recipes from Louisiana. It is a mildly spicy and creamy sauce recipe that pairs well with an endless variety of meals, especially seafood.
Give my remoulade sauce recipe a try and I know you will want to serve it with everything you can think of, from beef to pork and all your favorite dishes in-between. Definitely use it as crab cake remoulade sauce - that's the best way to serve it!
Creole Remoulade for Prime Rib
One year, I accidentally overcooked my roast beef... a prime rib! This Lousiana remoulade saved the day. I whipped it up in no time and served it with the main course, and no one even noticed it was a little overcooked. It was game-changing for me.
What really makes my remoulade sauce the best is its use of dill relish. Dill relish adds the perfect texture by giving the sauce a little bit of crunch, and the flavor from the pickle complements the other remoulade ingredients beautifully.
Remoulade Recipe FAQs
Although remoulade sauce is traditionally a French dish originating from France, it is most well-known in the US for its popularity in Cajun and Creole recipes from Louisiana.
Common remoulade ingredients include mayonnaise, spicy mustard, a mix of Cajun or Creole seasonings, and other additions such as hot sauce and lemon juice. My easy remoulade sauce recipe uses mayonnaise, Creole mustard, lemon juice, Louisiana hot sauce, garlic, black pepper, dill relish, ketchup, and Creole seasoning.
Creole Seasoning vs. Cajun Seasoning
The difference between Creole and Cajun seasoning comes from the level of spices used.
While Cajun and Creole are often used interchangeably to describe seasonings, Cajun seasoning is typically more simple, using garlic powder, black pepper, Cayenne pepper, and onion powder. Creole adds more herbs, such as oregano, thyme, and paprika.
Whether you use Creole seasoning or Cajun seasoning in my Louisiana remoulade sauce is totally up to your preference. You can use whichever you prefer for making either a Cajun Remoulade Sauce or a Creole Remoulade Sauce.
How to Store Remoulade Sauce
Store remoulade sauce in an airtight container such as a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Give it a stir before using it again.

I made your remoulade sauce today but unfortunately I left out the relish because it wasn't listed in the ingredients....I finally figured it out when I read your post that supports the recipe, but unfortunately it was after the fact. I will say it is a tasty sauce regardless, and I used it with Chicken (not crab) Cakes...I ended up adding some sugar to it though just because my personal preference is a sweeter remoulade. Great recipe, with a great kick!
