How to Make Arnaud's Shrimp Rmoulade

  1. Cook shrimp: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and opaque. Immediately transfer shrimp to an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  2. Prepare the remoulade sauce: In a food processor, finely chop the celery, green bell pepper, red onion, and parsley.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, Creole mustard (or Dijon), extra virgin olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, and MSG (if using).
  4. Add the finely chopped vegetables to the bowl and stir until well combined. The flavor should be sharp but balanced.
  5. Refrigerate the remoulade sauce in a covered bowl for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. About 2 hours before serving, gently toss the chilled shrimp with the remoulade sauce. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  7. Serve the shrimp remoulade over a bed of chopped watercress or lettuce. Enjoy!
