Instructions for Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and egg, whisking until well combined. In another bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the shrimp in batches, frying until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the French bread or hoagie rolls in half. Spread a generous amount of remoulade sauce on both sides. Layer with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, fried shrimp, and pickles.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Close the sandwich, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately with extra remoulade on the side.
