Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Shrimp

    In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dip each seasoned shrimp first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally into the cornmeal, ensuring an even coating.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Fry the breaded shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the fresh baguette in half lengthwise, creating a pocket for the filling.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    Start by placing a generous amount of shredded lettuce on the bottom half of the baguette, followed by the fried shrimp, sliced tomato, and pickles.

  3. 8

    Add Creole Sauce

    Drizzle the Creole sauce generously over the top of the shrimp.

  4. 9

    Close and Serve

    Place the top half of the baguette over the fillings, press gently, and your Creole Po' Boy is ready to serve!
