Galitoire's Restaurant famous Remoulade Sauce Recipe (1)

Usually you think of a visit to New Orleans as being surrounded by people who are aggressively having a wild time. That’s because for some, that’s why they’re there.

But there’s another well-known truth about New Orleans…it just happens to be one of the best food cities in the United States. Some would call it the best.

Along with a fabulous lineup of joints serving up Po-Boys and Mufalettas, New Orleans is home to a number of fancy world famous restaurants that are extremely rich in tradition and history.To name a fewArnaud’s, Antoine’s and Commander’s Palace are restaurants to visit to get a real taste of the importance of New Orleans culture.

Including my personal favorite Galatoire’s. It’s smack dab right on Bourbon Street, but a step inside and you feel a country club elegance.

If you’re lucky enough to be seated on the main level, you’ll find yourself among local socialites whose generations have chosen Galatoire’s to celebrate about anything. Stuffy? No. Spirits are high and infectious and I soon felt like I had acquired native status.

I recently ran across this shrimp shrimp remoulade recipe in Saveur and bearing the name of my favorite restaurant, I knew I had to try it.

Galatoire’s Shrimp Remoulade

    I’ve made this recipe (with less mustard plus pressed fresh garlic clove) for 45 years, and am making it again tonight for lump crab nachos before the cheese goes onto the pan of unseasoned nacho chips to melt. It’s heavenly with shrimp.

    For those of you that love the NOLA culture, you need to plan a visit during French Quarter Fest. Its free entry and you buy whatever food you like in small portions. Every food vendor is local and many of the famous and favorite neighborhood restaurants are there. Great music and lots of fun.
