Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2-3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning or Creole seasoning blend (or more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 French sandwich rolls or use baguettes
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato sliced
- 1 Jalapeno pepper thinly sliced (optional for some spiciness)
FOR THE REMOULADE
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or use chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard or use Creole mustard
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish I used HOT
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Jalapeno pepper minced
- 1 small shallot minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced (or use garlic powder)
- juice from half a lemon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning blend
- Cayenne Pepper to taste
- hot sauce to taste
Instructions
- First, season your shrimp with a good helping of Cajun or Creole Seasonings.
- Heat a grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the shrimp a couple minutes per side, until they are cooked through. Alternatively, cook the shrimp on the stove top in a grill pan, or saute them in a large oiled pan.
- While the shrimp is grilling, lightly toast your French rolls. They are best when they are crispy on the outside but nice and soft on the inside.
- Pile the grilled shrimp onto the buns along with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced peppers (optional, I like to include them).
- Finally, drizzle them with a creamy Cajun remoulade sauce that really nails the flavor. So delicious.
- FOR THE REMOULADE
- Whisk or mix all of the remoulade ingredients together in a medium bowl. Or, process them together in a blender or food processor. Use as needed.
