Sandwich Assembly

Method

Preparing the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp Coating

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Buttermilk Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until well-coated.

Frying the Shrimp

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Working in batches, fry the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the Rolls

    Slice the French rolls in half lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through.

  2. 7

    Add the Fillings

    Spread a layer of spicy remoulade sauce on the inside of each roll, then add a generous amount of fried shrimp, followed by shredded lettuce and tomato slices.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Close the sandwich and serve immediately with extra remoulade on the side.
