I love remoulade sauce with shrimp, crab cakes, oysters and even fish. Thought this time I'd turn shrimp remoulade into a salad. —inpatskitchen

-
1 cup
homemade mayo or a good quality commercial one
-
1
stalk celery, finely diced

1 tablespoon
ketchup

1 tablespoon
fresh lemon juice

3 good shakes (or more if you want it a little spicy) hot sauce (I used Cholula)

1/4 teaspoon
black pepper

1 pound
medium peeled and deveined shrimp, thawed if frozen ( I used 36-40s)

5 cups
shredded common cabbage

1/2 cup

Bring about 3 quarts of water along with the 1/2 lemon to a rolling boil. Add the shrimp, put a lid on the pot, turn the heat off and let the shrimp sit for about 2 minutes.
Drain the shrimp in a colander, and rinse the shrimp quickly in cold, cold water to cool.

Once the shrimp has cooled combine it with the shredded cabbage, remoulade sauce and chopped parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper and chill before serving.
I think I get my love for food and cooking from my mom, who was an amazing cook. She would start baking and freezing a month before Christmas in order to host our huge open house on Christmas afternoon. I watched and I learned...to this day I try not to procrastinate when it comes to entertaining.
My cooking style is pretty much all over the place, although I'm definitely partial to Greek and Italian cuisine. Oh yes, throw a little Cajun in there too!
