Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make Shrimp Po’ Boy Sliders that are sure to impress:
1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, soak the shrimp in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. This adds flavor and tenderness.
2. Prepare the Breading: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Shrimp: Remove shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
4. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added.
5. Fry the Shrimp: Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Toast the Buns: While the shrimp cools, lightly toast the slider rolls in the same pan until golden.
7. Assemble the Sliders: On each toasted roll, place a few pieces of fried shrimp. Top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickles, and a generous drizzle of remoulade sauce.
8. Serve: Place the assembled sliders on a platter and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
