Delicious Louisiana po boy sandwiches with crispy fried shrimp, fresh lettuce, ripe tomato, and tangy homemade remoulade sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, shelled, deveined and with tails removed
  • 3/4 cup fine cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Peanut oil for frying
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 2-3 tomatoes, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 4 small French sandwich rolls
  • Remoulade
  • 1/4 cup mustard, preferably Creole mustard
  • 1 1/4 cups mayo
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon pickle juice or vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (Crystal, Tabasco, etc)
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced and smashed
  • 1 Tbsp sweet paprika
  • 1-2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
Instructions:
  • Prepare the remoulade sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 30 minutes for the best results, but it's not necessary if you're short on time.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until a small amount of flour sizzles immediately when dropped in, about 1/4 inch deep.
  • Prepare a flavorful coating for the shrimp by combining cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, and salt in a large bowl. Coat the shrimp first in egg, then generously in the cornmeal-flour mixture, working with a few at a time.
  • Fry the shrimp until golden on both sides for about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Prepare the sandwiches by slicing the loaf almost through, spreading remoulade on both top and bottom halves. Layer shredded lettuce on the bottom, place shrimp on top, add sliced tomatoes, then close the sandwich. Serve immediately with hot sauce and beer. Don't forget to rate this recipe below!
