Sandwich Components

Breading and Frying

Remoulade Sauce (optional but recommended)

Method

Preparing the Remoulade Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the Remoulade Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Preparing the Shrimp

  1. 2

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In another bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  2. 3

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.

Frying the Shrimp

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Slice the Bread

    Cut the French loaves in half lengthwise.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Po Boy

    Spread the remoulade sauce on the inside of each bread half. Layer with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and the fried shrimp. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
