I have a fun and super easy copycat recipe for you today – copycat Red Lobster tartar sauce. This recipe only takes 5 ingredients and it tastes just like the real deal that you would get at Red Lobster.

How to serve Copycat Red Lobster tartar sauce recipe?

Tartar sauce is great to eat with fish, like my Parmesan Crusted Tilapia, but it is delicious on other things as well.  It is incredible spread on fish sandwiches or dipping fried fish into.

I have heard people dip everything from French fries to fried okra in tartar sauce. My kids even love to dip their shrimp poppers and fish sticks in this copycat Red Lobster tartar sauce. One bite of this amazing tartar sauce and you’ll see why!

When I’m serving this tartar sauce up to my kids, I love using small ramekins. They make it so much easier for them to dip their food into instead of having it just slopped onto their plate.

If you have small children that you don’t trust with breakable dishes, you can use silicone cupcake liners. I use mine for way more then just baking cupcakes.

How to make tartar sauce:

Making tartar sauce is so easy!! Get ready!

1. First, measure out all of your ingredients. Add all of the ingredients into a small to medium sized bowl. Any bowl will do!

2. Second mix all of the ingredients together with a spoon until they’re completely combined.

2. Lastly, refrigerate your tartar sauce for at least 2 hours or overnight if you don’t need it right away. Refrigerating the tartar sauce will give all of the ingredients time to meld together and become more flavorful.

Then you can use the sauce immediately if needed, but it won’t be near as flavorful as if you took the time to let it refrigerate. Trust me, it’s worth waiting 2 hours to enjoy this homemade tartar sauce.
