Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp, deveined
  • 1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning I used Tony Chachere
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup Louisiana Fish Fry Coating
  • cooking oil spray (if air frying) I use olive oil
  • canola or vegetable oil (if pan frying) You will need enough oil to fill 2 inches of height in your frying pan.
  • 4 French bread hoagie rolls I used 2 loaves, cut each in half
  • 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 8 tomato slices

Remoulade Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayo I used reduced-fat
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 lemon juice of
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire
  • 1/2 tsp Creole Seasoning I used Tony Chachere
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1 green onion chopped

Instructions

Remoulade Sauce

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate prior to serving while the shrimp cooks.

Shrimp and Breading

  • Marinate the shrimp in the Creole seasoning and buttermilk for 30 minutes. I like to use a sealable plastic bag to do this.
  • Add the fish fry to a bowl. Remove the shrimp from the bags and dip each into the fish fry. Add the shrimp to the air fryer basket.

Pan Fry

  • Heat a frying pan with 2 inches of oil to 350 degrees. Use a thermometer to test the heat.
  • Fry the shrimp on both sides for 3-4 minutes until crisp.
  • Remove the shrimp from the pan and drain the excess grease using paper towels.

Air Fryer

  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Add the shrimp to the air fryer basket.
  • Spritz the shrimp with cooking oil.
  • Cook the shrimp for 5 minutes on 400 degrees. Open the basket and flip the shrimp to the other side. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until crisp.

Assemble the Po Boy

  • Spread the remoulade sauce on the French bread.  Add the sliced tomato and lettuce, and then the shrimp.

Notes

To substitute buttermilk, you can use a beaten egg instead. Skip the marinating steps.
If substituting the fish fry, you can make your own fish fry using 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. You will also need 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour. Combine the cornmeal and flour mix to create your breading.
