- If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper and hot sauce.
- Use freshly minced capers to maximize flavor, or rinse jarred capers to reduce saltiness if desired.

- Remoulade pairs exceptionally well with seafood dishes such as shrimp, crab cakes, or fried fish, as well as sandwiches and as a dipping sauce for fries or vegetables.
