    Very tasty with only a couple of aforementioned issues. The first was that a good amount of my dredge came off in the oil so at the end the shrimp were very lightly coated. Also, cook time was maybe 2-3min max, and I had what was labeled as colossal (the largest size shrimp. Just a heads up for anyone trying this for the first time.. because it is a little trickier to see when they turn opaque (versus a saute being that they're coated and the oil is bubbling around them.
    Despite some of my shrimp coming out a bit overcooked the flavor was good. I would say if you like a little spice don't be afraid to add some extra cayenne because once it gets on that big bun with lettuce and tomato the flavor gets a bit toned down. I also made Emeril's Remoulade Sauce which is the first result that pops up when you type 'remoulade' in FN's search query. Recommend this combo!

    Absolutely wonderful. If they are better in N' Orleans, I don't know how!

    Fundamental recipe to capture New Orleans flavor.

    Season along the way - keeping mind that you are building flavors - because this can all turn from oh-so-fine to overkill pretty easily.

    Putting hot sauce both on the shrimp and then on the mayo really did make a difference. In our case, Cholula is the hot sauce of choice, which means we can be generous.

    Super tasty, BUT..... My flour cornmeal mixture did not stick to my shrimp.... it all ended up in my pan?!?!??? I think it may need an egg coating too? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Shannon.

    Disgusting. Too much salt. I used great from raw shrimp, artisan French bread, and followed the recipe exactly. I do a lot of cooking, all cultures, even my nephew couldn't stomach it, and he was really looking foward to a Canadian made'Po Boy' through Emiril. I don't make mistakes after 50 years of cooking. Spices used are really no brainer, but this is not a full flavour, big crunch in your mouth shrimp taste - just salt. My suggestion is pass this terrible recipe by, and use flavours made with your accompanientments - mayo, paprika, cayenne and more. I threw it in the garbage - after a lot of money.
