SHRIMP PO'BOY

Steps:

• Make the shrimp: Whisk the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Stir together the milk and hot sauce in a large bowl; add the shrimp. Working in batches, remove the shrimp from the milk mixture, letting the excess drip off, and add to the bowl with the flour mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate 15 minutes to let the coating set.
• Meanwhile, make the rémoulade: Combine the mayonnaise, pickles, shallot and hot sauce in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Fry the shrimp: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360˚ F. Working in batches, fry the shrimp until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the prepared baking sheet with a slotted spoon; season with salt. Adjust the heat as needed between batches.
• Meanwhile, put the rolls on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Spread the rémoulade on the cut sides and fill with lettuce, the shrimp and tomatoes. Serve with more hot sauce.

LOUISIANA SHRIMP PO BOY SANDWICH RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• For tartar sauce: Blend mayonnaise, pickles, onions, lemon juice, mustard, dried dill, tarragon, Worcestershire sauce, Sriracha and salt together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, (but it's better for 4), so all the flavors have a chance to get to know one another. Heat at least 1/4-inch oil in a large skillet or preheat deep fryer or oil in wok to approximately 360°F. In a bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and cayenne. In another small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Working with a few at a time, dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour, then into the egg wash, then back into the seasoned flour, coating the shrimp completely. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-4 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Slice the French loaves or rolls in half and butter both cut sides. I quickly grilled my rolls in a non-stick skillet, but this extra step is optional. Slather both cut sides of bread or rolls with tartar sauce. Divide the shrimp evenly between the 4 sandwiches and top with the tomato slices and shredded lettuce. Press the sandwich together a bit and serve your "c'est magnifique" shrimp po' boys with icy cold beer, Tabasco and a side of Zydeco music.
