Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • oil, for frying
  • salt and pepper to taste

Remoulade Sauce

  • 1 cup mayo
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp whole grain mustard
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1 scallion
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the vegetable oil to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While the oil is heating, put the breadcrumbs in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and hot sauce together. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, cayenne powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Add one shrimp to the flour mixture and coat completely before removingit and tapping off the excess flour.
  • Then, stick the shrimp with a fork and dip it into the egg mixture, but don’t let it sit for more than five to six seconds before draining the excess egg off.
  • Lastly, dredge the shrimp in the breadcrumbs and toss the excess off before carefully dropping them into the hot oil. Add only five shrimp at a time so that the oil doesn’t cool down.
  • Let them fry on one side for about three minutes before turning and frying on the other side for a minute or two, or until the shrimp turns a light brown or tan color on both sides.
  • Remove the shrimp from the oil and let drain over a cooling rack or on a plate with a paper towel.
  • Assemble the po'boy by adding shredded lettuce to the bun first, then tomato slices, then onions, then shrimp, and finally the remoulade sauce.
  • To make the remoulade sauce, whisk all of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
