Shrimp remoulade is a favorite classic appetizer from Louisiana. Packed with a ton of delicious flavor, this easy-to-make dish is creamy, tangy, and a little spicy! Served on lettuce cups, on top of a green salad, or even in a sandwich, this fun recipe is a must-try.

What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • This succulent dish is super versatile. It can be served as an appetizer with lettuce cups but also on a crunchy salad as a main dish or even on a sandwich, po’ boy style!
  • Shrimp remoulade is SO easy to make, but it looks pretty fancy. The mayo-based sauce is flavored with spices, fresh herbs, and pickles, and it complements the shrimp beautifully. You’ll impress anyone you make this for!
  • You can easily customize it to your preference when it comes the heat level! If you prefer it a little milder with just that satisfying kick or would rather it be really spicy, it’s up to your taste! Start with one teaspoon of Tabasco and add more if you wish.

Chef’s Tips

  • Ideally, the remoulade should sit in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. While chilling, the flavors will continue to develop for a perfectly balanced sauce. Feel free to even make it 24 hours in advance if needed! Simply add the shrimp to it shortly before you’re ready to eat.
  • We’re cooking our own shrimp here, but you could absolutely use plain, pre-cooked shrimp to make this recipe even easier.
  • To make this recipe Whole30-compliant, check the Dijon mustard ingredients for no wine, check the horseradish as well and use compliant mayonnaise. For an easy, homemade Whole30 mayo, check out my one-minute Whole30 mayo recipe!
