Description

This Red Lobster Tartar Sauce Recipe is the perfect creamy, tangy, and sweet condiment to elevate any seafood dish. Featuring a signature twist—finely grated carrot—it’s easy to make at home and pairs beautifully with fish, shrimp, lobster, and more.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons yellow onion, finely diced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon carrot, finely grated or minced
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Dice or grate the onion and carrot finely. If relish is chunky, mince it for smoother consistency.
  2. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, relish, grated carrot, diced onion, sugar, and salt.
  3. Mix thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Overnight is best.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Add a touch of lemon juice if desired.

Notes

Chill for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal flavor. For a lighter version, replace half of the mayo with Greek yogurt. Add fresh herbs or a touch of lemon zest for variation.
