Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with Old Bay seasoning. Mix well and let marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of cornmeal and a pinch of Old Bay seasoning.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture. Ensure each shrimp is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded shrimp in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Hoagie Rolls

    Slice each hoagie roll lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Toast lightly if desired.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Layer shredded lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and jalapeños inside each hoagie roll. Top generously with the crispy fried shrimp.

  3. 7

    Add the Remoulade

    Drizzle or spread remoulade sauce over the shrimp. Close the hoagie rolls gently.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately with extra remoulade on the side.
