SHRIMP REMOULADE



Shrimp Remoulade image

This is Craig Claiborne's 1985 recreation of the shrimp remoulade served at Arnaud's, the legendary restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Fiery with horseradish and Creole mustard -- Zatarain's was the brand Claiborne recommended -- the sauce also contains finely chopped heart of celery, green onion and a splash of good oil. Paprika adds a further touch of spice and a fine red color. Claiborne recommended allowing the dish to cure overnight in the refrigerator. This remains good advice. Arnaud's shrimp remoulade, he wrote at the time, "is a pleasure that endures." (The New York Times)

Arnaud's Shrimp RĂ©moulade image

This is supposedly the recipe for this dish from Arnaud's Restaurant in New Orleans, given out by Arnaud himself. I have made this several times and it is delicious! Recipezaar does not recognize Creole mustard, but that is the recommended one to use, although Dijon is OK.
