This tangy, well-spiced sauce starts with mayonnaise and ends with a horseradish kick. It comes together quickly and is the ideal accompaniment to Jared Austin’s Cajun shrimp boil. It’s also pretty tasty served with steamed or fried fish, crab cakes or fritto misto. A full batch of this recipe makes enough sauce for a 12-person seafood boil, so for everyday home cooking, make half a batch.

I'm concerned about the absence of herbs in this sauce. I would add thyme, and/or tarragon and/or summer savory to round it all out.

I added a bit of spicy ketchup I made earlier in the week for fries and a bit of leftover tartar sauce hanging out in the fridge. Terrific.

Note

Real good. Added zest of lemon and juice of half a lemon.

Made a half-batch to go with crab cakes. Didn't need to add ketchup for color since the cayenne and paprika (and hot sauce) made the finished product just the right shade of pink. Whizzed it all up in my Mini-Prep tiny food processor. Excellent results!

I like this recipe, it's a fancy tartar sauce. Even more than the remoulade I love the Weck jar in the photo! Cooks if all kinds--Weck jars are the best. Do yourselves a favor and check out their online offerings. The jars are study and handsome. I've had mine for over 15 years and they're still beautiful and useful. The glass lids are tight as are the plastic lids, which don't hold oder.
