Ingredients
- 2 pounds peeled and deveined 16/20 or 26/30 shrimp
- 4 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons stound ground or creole mustard
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups cornmeal
- ½ cup softened unsalted butter
- 4 6-8 inch loaves of French bread
- shredded iceberg lettuce
- sliced tomatoes
- sliced dill pickles
- ½ recipe for Cajun remoulade
- hot sauce to taste
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning, mustard, hot sauce, buttermilk, and eggs until combined.
- Add in the shrimp and mix well until coated. Let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Pour some oil into a large frying pan and heat to 350°.
- Add the flour, cornmeal, remaining 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning, and salt to taste to a casserole-size pan and whisk until combined. Taste it to make sure it’s seasoned enough.
- Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and add a handful to the pan with the flour-cornmeal mixture.
- Toss very well to make sure it is coated on all sides.
- Set aside on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and repeat the process until all the shrimp have been coated in the batter.
- Add half the shrimp to the hot oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and the shrimp are cooked through. Do not overcook.
- Set the shrimp on a sheet tray with a rack to drain any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining half of the battered shrimp.
- Spread some butter on each half of the sliced French bread.
- Toast the bread butter on a flat top or in a pan over low to medium heat until brown and toasted.
- Place some lettuce down on the bottom toasted slices of bread.
- Next, evenly spread the tomatoes and pickles.
- Place on as many shrimps as you can.
- Spread a generous helping of the mayonnaise or remoulade on the top slice of bread and then add it to the top of the sandwich.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This is meant to be eaten as soon as it is removed from the frying oil.
- How to Store: Cover the shrimp separately from the other ingredients and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover and freeze the shrimp once they are cooked for up to 3 months. Go directly from the freezer to the oven and evenly spread them out on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until hot, crispy, and cooked through.
- How to Reheat: Place the desired amount of pre-fried shrimp evenly spread on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 375° for 4-6 minutes or until hot and crispy. Serve as a sandwich with the other recommended ingredients.
- Any size of shrimp can be used in this recipe.
- You can also use your favorite Cajun or blackened seasoning.
- When making the marinade, feel free to taste it before adding the eggs to ensure it is flavorful enough to season up the shrimp.
- I like to use peanut or vegetable oil for frying.
