Method
Preparing the Shrimp
- 1
Prepare the Coating
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- 2
Dredge the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp first into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- 3
Fry the Shrimp
In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated shrimp in batches and fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Assembling the Sandwich

Prepare the Bread
Slice the French bread loaves lengthwise, ensuring not to cut all the way through. Lightly toast the insides if desired.

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with hot sauce to taste. Spread the mixture generously on the inner sides of the toasted bread.

Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of each bread loaf, layer the shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and fried shrimp. Top with pickles and more hot sauce if desired.
