Ingredients

  • 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Louisiana-style Hot Sauce
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • Oil for frying (I use canola)
  • 1/2 Cup Butter (melted)
  • 3 Tbsp Cayenne (Nashville Hot is really hot, if you want a milder version use 1 Tablespoon of Cayenne)
  • 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 4 French Rolls
  • Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
  • 1 Large Tomato (sliced)
  • Dill Pickles (sliced)
  • Tartar Sauce (optional)

Instructions

  • Get two bowls. In one bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, and hot sauce. In the other bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
  • Heat up the oil in your deep fryer, or in a cast iron skillet to 325 degrees F.
  • Take each shrimp and dredge it in the flour, then dip in the milk/egg mixture, and back into the flour again. Shake off the excess in between each step.
  • Fry shrimp in batches (I could fit 4-5 at a time in my small fryer), for about 4 minutes. Move to a wire rack.
  • To make the Nashville Hot glaze, heat up the butter until melted (I just use the microwave). Add the cayenne, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Brush over each side of the fried shrimp.
  • To assemble to Po Boy, fill french roll with lettuce and sliced tomato. Top with Nashville hot shrimp and sliced pickles. Top with tartar sauce, if you please.
