Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt the water, add the shrimp, and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Drain the shrimp and allow them to cool.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Creole mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper until well blended.
- Stir in the finely chopped celery, green onions, and parsley into the sauce, mixing until well combined.
- Add the cooled shrimp to the remoulade sauce and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the shrimp to soak in the flavors of the remoulade sauce.
- Serve the shrimp remoulade chilled. It can be enjoyed as an appetizer or served on a bed of crisp lettuce for a refreshing salad.
Tips
- If you want to add an extra depth of flavor, you can use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
- For a milder spice level, reduce the amount of hot sauce, or omit it altogether.
