A Zesty Gluten-Free Remoulade to Elevate Your Crab Cakes
At Hobby Hill, we believe that a great crab cake deserves an equally amazing sauce — and this gluten-free remoulade checks all the boxes: creamy, tangy, with just the right kick. Whether you're serving this alongside our Gluten-Free Crab Cakes or looking to dress up shrimp, grilled veggies, or sandwiches, this bold little condiment packs big flavor.
What Is Remoulade?
Remoulade is a classic French condiment with a Louisiana twist. Traditionally served with seafood, it's a mayo-based sauce that blends garlic, mustard, lemon, and spice. Think of it as the sassier cousin of tartar sauce — richer, deeper, and far more memorable.
Gluten-Free Remoulade Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1/3 cup mayonnaise
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
-
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
-
1/2 teaspoon gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

3/4 teaspoon horseradish
-
Pinch of cayenne pepper
-
3/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
-
In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth.

Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking — add more lemon juice for brightness or a dash more cayenne if you like heat.
-
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Why It Pairs Perfectly with Gluten-Free Crab Cakes
Our Gluten-Free Crab Cakes are packed with tender crab meat, herbs, and just enough gluten-free breadcrumbs to hold everything together. This remoulade adds a cool, creamy contrast that highlights the sweetness of the crab while balancing out the savory notes.
Pro Tip: Serve with a wedge of lemon and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a plate that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
