Description

Crispy shrimp, creamy remoulade, and fresh lettuce in toasted hoagies. A simple yet satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cups (59 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cups (59 ml) plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco)
  • 1 lbs (454 g) medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp Creole seasoning
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 cups (59 ml) cornmeal
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 hoagies or slices of French bread, split and toasted
  • shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, ketchup, shallot, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire, Dijon, and hot pepper sauce, mixing well.
  2. Combine flour and Creole seasoning and toss with shrimp.
  3. Add egg white and mix to combine with shrimp.
  4. Place cornmeal and breadcrumbs in a large zip-top plastic bag and shake to combine.
  5. Add shrimp to the bag and shake to evenly distribute the mixture.
  6. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  7. Add shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The shrimp is cooked through when it is opaque.
  8. Spread remoulade on the bottom of the bun, then add shredded lettuce, and top with one-fourth of the shrimp.
  9. Spread the top of the bun with remoulade sauce, to your liking.

Notes

  • For extra crispy shrimp, ensure they are completely dry before dredging in the cornmeal and breadcrumb mixture.
  • To make ahead, prepare the remoulade sauce and store separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • If you don’t have hoagie rolls, substitute with other crusty rolls or even toasted slider buns.
