A classic sandwich featuring fried shrimp served on a soft baguette.

In a bowl, combine buttermilk, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Shrimp

In another bowl, mix the flour and cornmeal together. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture until well coated.

Coat the Shrimp

Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add shrimp in batches and fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
