Notes

You can use any sixe shrimp for this recipe as long as you watch cooking times. Also try it with clams, oysters and use the guideline for Fish Fry to try it with any type of fish.
For a lighter healthier version, try Air Fryer Fish recipe. It's just as good, I promise!
Use a high smoking il for frying like avocado oil or peanut oil.
The oil temperature ideally should be between the range of 350 - 375 degrees F.
Avoid over crowding the pan.
Drain excess oil on paper towels always to prevent any greasy taste in your sandwich.
We use our Spicy Mayo as a base, and add to it some creole seasoning and cajun seasoning. It's the BEST!
Try to source the French bread foot long, and if you can't , look for a thin crust, fluffy interior type of bread.
Your toppigs are your choice, classically they need to include lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and onions. Adjust that to your taste.
It's best to cut the sandwich in half as it's easier to eat. And don't forget to keep some extra sauce in the side for dipping!
Basically any size shrimp would work for this recipe, as long as you coat it well and adjust frying time. If you like a "meaty' tasting shrimp then you'll need the larger size, but if you like the exra crisp coating taste, then go for smaller sizes. Make sure the shrimp is deveined with no tails on before frying. That makes them easier to eat.
Use whatever sauce you prefer. Our Garlic Parmesan Sauce is another slurp worthy sauce!! Like SO GOOD! Especially if you add some spice and creole/cajun to it, then you can totally use it here. You can also add greens and fancy sandwich ingredients, however this is not meat to be a fancy sandwich. So basic simple iceberg,, tomatoes, pickles and some onions will be all you need!
Because the seafood is fried, this recipe is BEST made right before serving. I
If you have leftovers, it's best to keep the seafood in a glass container air tight in the fridge for 3 days or freezer for 30 days. To reheat any fried foods, my favorite way is to air fry it at 350 degrees F for 3-6 minutes depending on the size.
