  • servings cooking oil for frying
  • 2.5 tablespoons dijon mustard 
  • 0.8 cup breadcrumbs dry
  •  eggs beaten
  • 0.3 cup flour 
  • 0.3 teaspoon pepper black
  • cups lettuce shredded
  • 0.7 cup mayonnaise

  • 1.3 pounds shrimp shelled
  • 0.3 teaspoon all the tabasco sauce you handle to taste
  •  tomatoes cut into thin slices
  • 0.5 cup milk whole

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • paper towels
  • sauce pan
  • oven

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 35
  2. Remove the soft centers of the baguette, leaving a 1/2-inch shell.
  3. Put the bread, cut-side up, on a baking sheet and brush with the butter. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, and Tabasco sauce.
  4. Heat about 3 inches of oil in a medium saucepan until it reaches approximately 36
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the milk and the egg. In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Dip the shrimp into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and then into the bread crumbs.
  6. Put about a third of the breaded shrimp into the oil and fry, turning, until golden on the outside and just done in the center, 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining two batches of shrimp.
  8. Meanwhile, bake the pieces of baguette until crisp, about 5 minutes.
  9. Spread the sauce on both sides of the bread. Sandwich the lettuce, tomato, and fried shrimp between the bread.
  10. Wine Recommendation: Choose a cold beer rather than wine. It's the best choice for washing down these spicy sandwiches.
