Ingredients
Scale
1 cup Mayonnaise
2 tbsp Creole mustard
1 tbsp Louisiana style hot sauce
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Sweet relish
1 clove Garlic (minced)
2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tbsp Capers
1 tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning
1 tsp Paprika
1 dash Salt
1 dash Black pepper (freshly cracked)
1 cup Buttermilk
1 tbsp Louisiana style hot sauce (for marinating)
1 cup All-purpose flour
1/2 cup Cornmeal
2 tsp Creole seasoning
1 dash Salt
1 cup Oil (for frying)
4 slices French bread
1 medium Tomato (sliced)
1 cup Lettuce (chopped)
1 Lemon (for squeezing over)
Instructions
Prepare the Remoulade Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Creole mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, sweet relish, minced garlic, parsley, capers, cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Mix Buttermilk and Seasoning: In a shallow dish, whisk together buttermilk and hot sauce. In another shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, and 2 teaspoons of Creole seasoning.
Coat the Shrimp: Dip shrimp into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring an even coat, then dredge them in the flour and cornmeal mixture. Let the shrimp rest for a few minutes for the coating to adhere.
Fry the Shrimp: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Sandwich: Slice the French bread and generously spread remoulade sauce on both sides. Layer with your freshly fried shrimp, tomato slices, and chopped lettuce. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before closing the sandwich.
Notes
Adjust the spice level by adding more or less hot sauce.
For extra crunch, double dip the shrimp in the buttermilk and flour mixture.
