Shrimp remoulade, which combines remoulade sauce with seafood, was first prepared in the French Quarter of New Orleans. French remoulade sauce, traditionally mayonnaise-based, has been a staple in Louisiana Creole cuisine since the early 1900s. Louisiana remoulade, with its added ingredients of paprika, ketchup, and hot sauce, gives shrimp remoulade its distinct Creole flavor.
