I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Jan! Yes… the bread makes it extra special! We have an amazing bakery here in Nashville called “Dozen Bakery” that I love.

I used pre-cooked shrimp, worried that frying it would overcook the shrimp, but it still came out wonderfully flavorful and tender. You seriously weren’t kidding about this being the best sandwich ever, it’s amazing. I now have another reason to visit New Orleans some day. Thank you Jess!

It needs a super crisp thin crust and a meltingly soft and tender inside. Panera Bread’s baguettes, although delicious, are too dense for these sandwiches. I’m lucky to have an independent baker in my smallish NC community who does perfect baguettes, so it’s worth looking around your town to maybe find the real deal. This recipe produces incredible fried shrimp and catfish (I tried both, and didn’t miss the cornmeal with the catfish strips). If you can’t find the right bread just pile fried seafood and veggies on toast or serve the fried shrimp over a bed of lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and cucumbers and use the remoulade as a dressing. SO YUM–thanks, Jess! This was really delicious and way better than any po’ boy from any restaurant in my area. Did I mention cheaper, too? It’s also the tastiest remoulade sauce recipe I’ve tried!
