What we love about this Remoulade Sauce
The sauce is incredible. It is creamy, and all the ingredients in the sauce give it an amazing flavor. It is a mayonnaise-based sauce with mustard, garlic, ketchup, hot sauce, pickle juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Cajun seasoning. It’s like a Russian dressing or fry sauce x10. This recipe is excellent with Cajun shrimp and chicken. We use this sauce with our Cajun Chicken Wings and with our Shrimp Po Boys and it’s a match made in heaven. I’ll get that Shrimp Po Boys recipe up soon.
This recipe just mixes together household ingredients and is ready in minutes. Definitely give it a try with our Cajun Chicken Wings with Remoulade Sauce.

Remoulade Recipe Substitutions
I know what it’s like when you don’t have everything on hand and the last thing you want to do is run to the store and pick something up. Here are a few ideas to substitute items on the ingredients list if needed:
- You can use the homemade seasoning or Cajun (or Creole) seasoning from the store. We really love our homemade seasoning and it takes less than 5 minutes to make.
- You can use Dijon mustard, a coarse ground mustard, or Creole mustard. We don’t have Creole mustard at grocery stores in our area and I have used both Dijon and a Country Dijon mustard with great success.
- I use Frank’s hot sauce in this recipe but you can use a Creole or Cajun hot sauce if you find one in your area.
- I use dill pickle juice, but you can use sweet if that’s all you have.
- If you don’t have fresh garlic cloves, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, but I recommend fresh garlic if possible.
- If you don’t have lemons, you could substitute bottled lemon juice but the taste will slightly differ.
Step-by-step Instructions for this Easy Remoulade Sauce
Step 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, garlic, pickle juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, and Cajun seasoning.
Step 2. Serve with your favorite Cajun chicken or shrimp.
Tips
- I love using our homemade Cajun seasoning in the sauce. I prefer to use my homemade seasoning because I can adjust the heat tolerance for my family. You can also try using a Creole or Cajun seasoning purchased at the store.
