Instructions

  1. 1

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, and Cajun seasoning. In another bowl, pour 1/4 cup of buttermilk or milk.

  2. 2

    Dip the shrimp in the milk, let the excess drip off, then toss them in the cornmeal mixture until thoroughly coated.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.

  4. 4

    Slice the French bread lengthwise, leaving the hinge attached. Lightly toast the inside of the bread.

  5. 5

    Slather the top and bottom interiors of the bread generously with the tangy remoulade sauce.

  6. 6

    Layer the shredded lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom. Pile the hot, crispy fried shrimp high on top, close gently, and slice into portions.
