Switch out the remoulade and use Comeback Sauce instead. I've been making this since I first read about it in January 2014. Perfect with summer seafood. I'm really liking the deep south spicy concoction with fried shrimp like this: https://daily4you.info/recipes/1015191-cornmeal-batter-shrimp%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3Cdiv class="noteactions_noteActions__VlyP0">

many ingredients but worth it. delicious. it does make a lot but stores well and besides the shrimp is quite versatile. my husband put some on his grilled hamburg yesterday, and judged it wonderful.

One of my favorite uses for Comeback Sauce is on Roasted chicken or turkey sandwiches. But it's actually good on so many things such as plain saltines.

Not only is this delicious, it’s forgiving. No chili sauce? Add a little ketchup. Out of dry mustard? Regular mustard works well, too. No horseradish or lemons? Apple cider vinegar added brightness and tang. I even added a little truffle oil. So though I didn’t follow the exact recipe - it was absolutely luscious!
