  1. Begin with a remoulade or other sauce of similar nature as your base.

  3. Add one teaspoonful each of finely-minced shallots, parsley or tarragon, and capers or pickled gherkins.
  4. Season highly with cayenne and add salt if needed.
  5. Adjust the ingredients to taste and to your preferred level of intensity, as the sauce should be very pungent.
