4 servings
For the remoulade
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
Ingredient noteStore-bought mayonnaise and mayo-based sauces are made with pasteurized eggs, so they are generally fine during pregnancy.
- 1 tbsp creole mustard
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp prepared horseradish
Ingredient noteOnly large or medicinal amounts of horseradish are a concern in pregnancy. This recipe uses about 1/4 tsp per serving, which is a normal condiment amount.
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp garlic powder

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 ½ tsp cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs
Ingredient noteEggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying (about 2 inches deep)
For serving
