Instructions:
Make the Remoulade Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, capers, hot sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Prepare the Shrimp: In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, Creole seasoning, and salt. Divide the flour between two dishes for double dipping. Add 1/3 cup of the flour mixture to the beaten eggs. Dip the shrimp into the flour mixture, beaten eggs mixture, and then dredge in the flour mixture again.
Fry the Shrimp: Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375°F (190°C). Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of Remoulade Sauce on the cut sides of the French bread rolls. Layer lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and fried shrimp.
Serve: Close the sandwiches and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
