Creole Remoulade Sauce

Virginia Cherry Blossom's Note:

A French Caribbean-inspired tartar sauce that enhances any seafood and makes a great sandwich topping. This sauce goes particularly well with Cajun Seafood Cakes Cajun Seafood Cakes. This Creole sauce is also well-paired with chilled shrimp, crayfish, lobster, and grilled calamari. Try it as a dressing for a seafood salad, too. Makes 1 3/4 cups; serving size is per 1/4 cup. Found in, "The Whole Foods Market Cookbook."

I made this Remoulade Sauce to accompany Shrimp-Eggplant Beignets With Remoulade Sauce 85089. This was an excellent remoulade sauce, although I think I would cut back a little on the tarragon next time. I loved the capers in the recipe...they added a really nice touch. Very enjoyable sauce....I think it would be wonderful on a fried fish sandwich! I'll try that tomorrow....made for ZWT5. Thanks for posting!
