Directions

1. Make remoulade: Combine mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning, parsley, chives, lemon juice, shallots, celery, tarragon, mustard, zest, garlic, and salt and pepper and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use. Can be made 3 to 4 days ahead. Fill a Dutch oven with about 4 inches oil and heat to 350℉.
2. Combine crawfish tails with mayonnaise, and Cajun seasoning and toss until well coated.
3. Combine flour and cornmeal in a shallow bowl. Dredge crawfish tails in the flour mixture.
4. Drop crawfish tails, in batches, in the hot oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel lined baking sheet and season with salt.
5. Assemble sandwiches: Slice bread in half lengthwise and spread about 1 tablespoon of Remoulade Sauce on each half of bread. Divide the crawfish among the po’boys and top with shredded lettuce, tomato slices and pickles. Top with the remaining half of the bread. Serve with chips or French fries.
