Description

This classic Shrimp Remoulade features a vibrant, tangy dressing made with Creole mustard, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. The creamy emulsion coats chilled, cooked shrimp, creating a refreshing contrast with the crunch of celery and onion. It is an elegant yet simple dish that serves beautifully as an appetizer or light main course. Perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks, or a quick weeknight dinner, this recipe brings bright, zesty flavors to the table. The flavors meld beautifully when chilled, making it an excellent make-ahead option for entertaining.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Whisk together lemon juice, mustard, horseradish, paprika, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Gradually add olive oil while whisking constantly until the mixture emulsifies and thickens.
  3. Stir in chopped celery, onion, green onions, and parsley.
  4. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Place the cooked shrimp in a large bowl.
  6. Toss the shrimp with enough of the prepared dressing to coat them evenly.
  7. Cover the shrimp and the remaining dressing separately and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.
  8. Arrange butter lettuce leaves on 4 plates.
  9. Spoon the chilled shrimp atop the lettuce.
  10. Serve immediately, passing the remaining dressing on the side.
