Tartar Sauce is a traditional accompaniment to fried seafood. It’s quick and easy to prepare, and only requires a handful of ingredients. I’ve been making this tartar sauce for years for Fried Shrimp, Fish and Chips, Shrimp Po’ Boy, and other seafood delicacies. It never disappoints!
Ingredients:
I used the following ingredients: Mayonnaise, sweet relish, capers, minced onion, parsley, lemon juice, and hot sauce.
Making the Quick and Easy Traditional Tartar Sauce:
I added all of the ingredients to a bowl, and stirred to combine everything.
Then, I transferred it to a plastic bowl, covered it and put it in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld. That’s it! An absolutely delicious tartar sauce for Fried Shrimp, Fish and Chips, Shrimp Po’ Boy, and other seafood delicacies. Yum!
