Instructions:

1. Prepare the remoulade sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Mix well, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate it while you prepare the shrimp.
2. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create the coating mixture for the shrimp.
3. Pour the buttermilk into another shallow dish.
4. Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels.
5. Dip each shrimp into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
6. Then, dredge the shrimp in the flour-cornmeal mixture, pressing the coating gently onto the shrimp to adhere.
7. In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to submerge the shrimp. Fry the coated shrimp over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
8. Remove the cooked shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
9. To assemble the shrimp po' boys, slice the baguette or French bread in half lengthwise.
10. Spread a generous amount of the remoulade sauce on both sides of the bread.
11. Layer the shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and pickles on the bottom half of the bread.
12. Place the crispy fried shrimp on top of the veggies.
13. Top with the other half of the bread to form the sandwich.

Serve the shrimp po' boys immediately, and savor the delightful flavors of this iconic New Orleans dish!
