Ingredients
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons Creole mustard
1½ teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1½ tablespoons ketchup
1½ tablespoons Tabasco hot sauce
1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 scallions, roughly chopped
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Place egg yolks, Creole mustard, and yellow mustard in a medium bowl. Whisk together until well combined and slightly pale.
Add lemon juice, ketchup, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic, and cayenne pepper to the mustard mixture. Whisk until smooth.
While whisking constantly, add vegetable oil to the egg mixture in a very thin, steady stream. The mixture will begin to emulsify and thicken. Continue whisking and adding oil gradually until all oil is incorporated and the sauce reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
Fold in the chopped scallions gently until evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to use. The rémoulade will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Comments
This is a smart condiment for a Charlotte kitchen: every ingredient lives in the standard rotation at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI, and the total cost lands around $0.25 per serving because it yields eight portions from pantry staples and a single egg yolk. The stated 10 minutes is honest—it's a five-minute emulsion if you have a whisk and a steady hand, maybe eight if you go slow. It stores beautifully in the fridge for two weeks, making it ideal meal prep for shrimp, fried chicken, or crab cakes. The only reason this isn't a 5.0 is that creole mustard can be hit-or-miss at smaller Food Lion or ALDI outposts, forcing you to lean on Harris Teeter or Kroger if your local store doesn't stock it, a minor friction point for a weeknight.
