Ingredients
1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Creole mustard (or course ground mustard)
1 tablespoon dill pickle relish (or pickle juice)
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon lemon juice
  hot sauce (to taste)
  peanut oil for frying
1 cup flour
1⁄2 cup fine cornmeal
1 tablespoon Creole or Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs
1 pound shrimp, shelled, deveined, tails removed*
4 hoagie rolls (split horizontally)
1⁄4 head iceberg lettuce (shredded)
3 roma tomatoes (sliced)
3⁄4 cup dill pickle chips (optional)
Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise through hot sauce; cover and chill.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat ¼ inch of peanut oil. While it’s heating, mix flour through pepper in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, thoroughly scramble eggs. Cover a large plate with paper towels. The oil is ready when bubbles form around an inserted wooden spoon or chopstick. Dredge shrimp through the egg, then coat in flour mixture. In small batches, fry coated shrimp until golden on both sides (2 to 3 minutes). Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool. Once the shrimp is done, slather remoulade on the insides of the rolls, then stack lettuce, tomatoes, pickles (if desired), and fried shrimp on top.
