How To Make extra tangy tartar sauce

Step 1

Combine all ingredients except sugar, salt, and hot sauce (if using). Taste and add pepper, sugar, salt, or hot sauce to your desire.

Step 2

Let chill for at least an hour to blend flavors before serving.
Step 3

NOTE - I've used dried, minced shallots and let the mixture chill overnight to make sure shallots have softened.
