Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large French bread
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 -3 tomatoes, sliced
1 cup lettuce, shredded
vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon creole seasoning or 1 tablespoon Emeril's Original Essence
20 shucked oysters, drained or 1 pint oyster
12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
hot pepper sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the French bread in half, crosswise. then cut both of the pieces horizontally in half. Spread the mayo on the bread. Arrange the tomatoes and lettuce on the bottom halves of the bread.
  • Put enough oil into a large and heavy-bottomed pot (or electric deep-fryer) to come up halfway on the sides and then heat the oil over high heat until it reaches 360 degrees F. (Be careful!).
  • Mix the cornmeal with the Creole seasoning and then add the oysters and shrimp, toss to coat. Shake off any excess breading.
  • In batches (no crowding), carefully deep-fry the seafood, turning frequently, until they get a nice golden brown, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the seafood to paper towels to drain. Repeat until you've cooked all the seafood.
  • Put the warm oysters and shrimp on top of the lettuce and tomatoes, season to taste with the hot sauce and top with the bread tops. Enjoy!

The remoulade sauce was a perfect complement to the sandwich. It was creamy and tangy.

It was nice! The shrimp and oysters were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
