Transport yourself to the banks of the Gulf Coast with this delicious Shrimp Po Boy- perfectly crunchy shrimp, fresh veggies, with a zesty remoulade on a soft roll.
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, Cajun seasoning, mustard, hot sauce, and eggs until evenly combined.
Add in shrimp and mix until coated. Let marinade in fridge for 30 minutes while you prep everything else.
For the Cajun Remoulade
Mix all the ingredients (expect salt) in a small mixing bowl until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning. (Cajun seasoning is already salty, so you may not need to add more salt).
For Frying the Shrimp
In a shallow bowl or small casserole dish, mix together flour, cornmeal, and Cajun seasoning until combined. Taste a little and add more salt if necessary.
Using one hand, remove the shrimp from the fridge. Grab a few, allowing the excess marinade to drip off, and add to the cornmeal mixture. Using your other hand, toss very well to make sure all sides are coated in the mixture.
Set aside on a baking sheet and repeat the process until all shrimps are coated.
Add enough oil to a shallow cast iron skillet so there's about 1½ inches of oil. Heat to 350℉. Once heated, add enough shrimp to fill the pan but so they are not touching. Cook 2 - 3 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
Set on a sheet pan with a rack to drain. Repeat process.
For the Sandwich
On the bottom toasted piece of bread, place 4 - 6 shrimps. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Put a generous dollop of the remoulade on the top bun. Close the sandwich and enjoy.
