Directions

Start by preparing the shrimp. Place them in a bowl with the milk. In a separate tray, combine the polenta, Old Bay seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of salt, mixing well. Remove the shrimp from the milk, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat them thoroughly in the seasoned polenta mixture.
Heat the frying oil to 180°C (356°F) in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet. Fry the shrimp in small batches for 3-4 minutes, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Carefully remove the shrimp from the oil and transfer them to a wire rack over a tray to drain. Sprinkle a little extra salt over the hot shrimp.
To assemble the sandwiches, slice each baguette open and spread mayonnaise on both sides. Layer on the iceberg lettuce, tomato slices, dill pickles, and top with the fried shrimp.
Carefully close the sandwich, pressing lightly to compact the fillings without squishing them too much.

Looks delicious Andy! In the introduction you mention a drizzle of spicy mayo. I didn’t notice that in the video nor the recipe. Perhaps you can append that information. Thanks
