Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Have your peeled and deveined shrimp in a bowl and prepare them, one by one, by dredging the shrimp in the milk mixture, followed by the flour and cornmeal mixture. Set them on the prepared pan so they do not touch.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat up about 2 inches of oil until it shimmers. Carefully place the shrimp into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown, turning them with metal tongs as needed. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to do this in batches. Once browned and cooked through (about 4 minutes), remove the shrimp and place on a paper towel-lined sheet pan.
  4. Prepare the sliders by spreading remoulade on the bottom slider buns. Top with 2 to 3 fried shrimp per sandwich, depending on the size of your shrimp, then add lettuce and tomatoes. Pop on the top buns and enjoy!

Ingredient Tips

What is remoulade sauce? Remoulade is a flavorful condiment that perfectly complements the light, savory taste of shrimp. Traditionally made with mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, and a dash of hot sauce, this French sauce adds a creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy layer of dimension to any dish.

My remoulade has a little twist, too—fresh dill is the not-so-secret ingredient that takes it to the next level. We’re using the remoulade as a dressing here, but it makes a great dipping sauce too! Don’t skip it—in my opinion, this scratch-made remoulade recipe ties the whole dish together so every bite is a Mardi Gras party!

Preparation + Preservation Tips

It’s easy to transform these delightful sliders into full-size po-boy sandwiches for a heartier meal. When we’re down at the farm, we like to serve these on full-size buns alongside some of our favorite fish fry sides. No matter what size you make them, be warned: They’ll disappear quickly. They're just that delicious!
