Chilled Shrimp with Remoulade

  • ACTIVE: 30 MIN
  • TOTAL TIME: 1 HR
  • SERVINGS: 12

Shrimp remoulade is a classic part of a Réveillon menu (the traditional holiday meal in New Orleans), and chef John Besh makes it every year.

Our Pairing Suggestion

Sweet shrimp and Besh's flavorful, mayonnaise-based remoulade make this starter rich enough to pair with a fairly substantial white wine, such as Chardonnay from Sonoma.
