Instructions

Mix the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
Add Spices and Herbs: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, capers, and fresh parsley. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
Combine All Ingredients: Stir the sauce thoroughly until all the spices and herbs are evenly distributed, ensuring the flavor is well balanced throughout the sauce.
Chill to Enhance Flavors: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the remoulade sauce for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and develop a richer taste.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute regular mayonnaise with reduced-fat mayonnaise.
Fresh minced garlic or sautéed onions can be used instead of garlic and onion powders for a fresher taste and texture.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce and cayenne pepper to suit your heat preference.
Use gluten-free Worcestershire sauce if catering to gluten-sensitive diets.
This remoulade sauce pairs excellently with fried seafood, grilled meats, sandwiches, and salads.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
