Crab Cake Sauce / Remoulade
Description
The Crab Cake Sauce combines creamy mayonnaise with Dijon mustard and lemon juice for tartness, balanced by Worcestershire and hot sauce for depth and heat. Creole seasoning and cayenne add a mild spiciness, while paprika and sugar give subtle smoky sweetness. Capers contribute a pickled, briny flavor that complements seafood. Fresh garlic and chives provide pungency and fresh herbaceous notes.
Prepared by stirring the ingredients together, it is served immediately atop crab cakes or similar seafood. The sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days, retaining its flavor and texture. Adjustments can be made by increasing hot sauce or creole seasoning for more heat or mayonnaise for richness and balancing saltiness. Additional mix-ins like parsley, sweet relish, horseradish, or other pickles can further customize the sauce.
