For the Sandwich

Method

For the Remoulade Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Remoulade Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and paprika. Mix until smooth and well blended. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

For the Shrimp

  1. 2

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. In another shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Dip each shrimp into the buttermilk mixture, then coat with the cornmeal mixture, ensuring each shrimp is evenly coated.

  2. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated shrimp in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Build the Po' Boy Sandwich

    Slice the French bread in half lengthwise. Spread a generous amount of the remoulade sauce on both sides of the bread. Layer the fried shrimp, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and pickles. Top with additional remoulade sauce if desired. Close the sandwich and slice into portions.
