Assembly Instructions

Preparing the Shrimp
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it's well coated.

Frying the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the coated shrimp in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary, until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Po Boy
Slice the French bread rolls in half lengthwise. Layer the fried shrimp onto the bottom half of the bread. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and a drizzle of remoulade or sauce of choice. Place the other half of the bread on top and serve immediately.
