Fried Shrimp Po'boy Ingredients
Method
Fried Shrimp Po'boy Directions
Prepare the Shrimp
In a mixing bowl, soak the shrimp in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize.
Mix the Coating
In another bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Coat the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk and dredge them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Po'boys
Slice the baguette or rolls in half. Spread remoulade sauce on both sides, layer with shredded romaine, tomato slices, pickles, and fried shrimp.
Serve
Serve immediately with extra remoulade on the side.
