Questions

What internal temperature should Shrimp Remoulade reach?

For Shrimp Remoulade, the target internal temperature is 145 F (about 65 C), given in step 2. A probe thermometer removes the guesswork.

Why pat it dry first in Shrimp Remoulade?

Step 5 reads: "Pat 1 lb peeled raw shrimp dry with paper towels, toss in the sauce until coated, and chill before serving." Surface water has to boil off before anything can brown. Drying at step 5 means the food sears in the first minute instead of steaming.

Can I use frozen shrimp instead of shrimp in Shrimp Remoulade?

Yes; most shrimp sold as fresh were frozen once already. Thaw them under cold running water for about ten minutes and pat them very dry so they sear instead of steaming. As written, the entry for Shrimp Remoulade uses 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled.

Can I make Shrimp Remoulade less spicy?

Yes. The heat in Shrimp Remoulade comes from 1 tsp hot sauce. For a milder plate, start with half the hot sauce and add more to taste at the end; nothing else in the method changes.

Does Shrimp Remoulade contain shellfish?

Yes: 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled. The full allergen list for this entry is eggs and shellfish. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
