Instructions

  • Preheat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F or In a large, sauce pan pour vegetable oil - half way .
  • In a large bowl mix together, cornmeal, flour, garlic & onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix buttermilk and eggs . Set aside
  • Dip shrimp in buttermilk mixture and lightly deep into the flour mixture.
  • Then fry the shrimp in the fryer or saucepan a few at at a time. Fry until slightly brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes or more depending on the size. These big chunks took about 6 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the fryer with a slotted spoon and place on a dish with a paper towel to ensure crispness. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.

Remoulade Sauce

  • In a serving bowl combine, lemon juice from squeezed lemon, mayonnaise, garlic, relish, green onions, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Creole Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Place bread in the oven and lightly toast.
  • While bread is toasting, combine crushed garlic, and butter , then microwave in a safe dish for about 1 minute .
  • Remove and spread on toasted French bread.
  • Proceed with the assembling of the sandwich. Add the shrimp, sliced cabbage or shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and drizzle with Remoulade Sauce.

Notes

  • Don't overload the pan when frying the shrimp - a lot of shrimp all at once can crowd the pan and lower the temperature drastically and allow the oil to seep into the food. Fry in batches.
  • Once you remove the shrimp out of the fryer, place them on a metal cooling rack above a sheet pan. A cooling rack allows fried foods to drain and help them stay crisp, too.
  • For the leftovers, store the ingredients separately so they'll stay fresh.
  • Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
