gluten-free | dairy-free
This gluten-free, dairy-free remoulade is what you reach for when tartar sauce isn’t interesting enough. Two mustards—Dijon and whole-grain—plus capers, tarragon vinegar, and a touch of Sriracha give it a tangy, briny complexity that makes it the perfect pairing for crab cakes, grilled shrimp, and anything that comes out of the water. Ready in 10 minutes, and it gets better as it sits.
Remoulade sauce is a slightly more tangy alternative to tartar sauce and is my favorite sauce for our delectable crab cakes.
The two mustards and the tarragon vinegar bring the tang, and the capers bring a wonderful brininess to this mayo-based seafood sauce.
I found this recipe on Epicurious years ago and have not changed from the original, yet.
Now, go eat something amazing!
