What you’ll find most surprising about this recipe is the list of ingredients. What I have to tell you about that you have no need to freak out that it’s quite a long list. If you take a closer look, you’ll find that the ingredient list is basically a medley of spices that you (more than likely) already have in your spice cupboard.
About Barbecued Shrimp with Remoulade Sauce:
The shrimp is coated with a nice blend of spices to give it amazing flavor that you can’t usually find in a store bought seafood spice blend. You’ll taste things like cumin, thyme, curry powder and a touch of cayenne. The flavor combination is excellent. The shrimp is marinated in this wonderful spice mixture for 30 minutes. I took this recipe on a camping trip once (yes, we like to eat gourmet when we’re camping!), and I threw the spices in with the shrimp in the morning, packed the shrimp on ice, drove to our campsite and grilled it up that night. So the extra marinating time did not harm the shrimp at all!
What is Remoulade Sauce and How do you Make Remoulade Sauce?
The grilled shrimp is served with a homemade remoulade sauce. Remoulade Sauce is a condiment that was invented in France that is mayonnaise- based. It’s very easy to make homemade, and I suggest you don’t skip this part because it’s REALLY GOOD with this shrimp! Again, you’re going to find a long list of ingredients for the sauce. Just like the shrimp rub, the ingredients for the sauce are made up of a nice blend of spices and things that you already have in your cupboard or refrigerator. They’re simply mixed together to create the sauce, and then you’ll store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it. The flavor of remoulade sauce is actually better after 24 hours, and you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Again, I prepared remoulade sauce ahead of time for the camping trip I mentioned before, and it was excellent served with the shrimp. The campers surrounding us were completely jealous of our meal. Let me know if you try this recipe. I really love the spices in both the shrimp rub and the sauce!
