Jalapeno Tartar Sauce image

This sauce goes great with fresh fried fish, oysters, shrimp, calamari, mudbugs (crayfish) I am an avid seafood/fresh water fish eater :) and anything you want that tartar sauce with a kick on! Great on chicken tenders too!

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c mayo (i use duke's or hellman's a good mayo makes for a good start)
1/2 c dill pickle relish
4 Tbsp capers drained and chopped (optional - if i am out of capers i dice up a couple of green olives and it is still just as good!)
2 Tbsp lime juice (fresh or bottled)
4 dash(es) green jalapeno sauce (or any hot sauce you like green or red)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
1 tsp kosher salt (i use course grind)
1 small green onion very thinly sliced tops included (this is up to you i make it both ways depending on the mood lol)
2 small fresh jalapenos cleaned, seeded, and diced small (if you like the heat add some of the seeds to the mixture) use less jalapeno if you prefer less

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients together except the Jalapenos. Cover and chill for 1 hour or longer.
  • 2. Add jalapenos re-cover and chill for 1 more hour to meld the pepper flavor but to keep some of the firmness to the pepper.
