Spicy Homemade Tartar Sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
5 tablespoons dill pickles. finely chopped
3 green onions, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped or 1/3 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon fresh tarragon, chopped or 1/3 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha or Tabasco (or 1/2 teaspoon for less spice)
1/2 teaspoon each sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Po' Boys
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp (16/20 count), peeled and deveined
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon granulated garlic powder
1 tablespoon granulated onion powder
1 teaspoon sea, Kosher or other salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 eggs
4 tablespoons milk
Peanut or vegetable oil for frying
4 crusty French or Italian rolls
Butter
3 cups finely shredded iceberg lettuce
2 firm, red, ripe tomatoes, sliced and splashed with a bit of Tabasco and a sprinkling of sea salt

1
For tartar sauce: Blend all ingredients together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, (but it's better for 4), so all the flavors have a chance to get to know one another, to seduce one another, to fall crazy in love.
2
Heat at least 1/4-inch oil in a large skillet or preheat deep fryer or oil in wok to approximately 360u00b0F.
3
In a bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and cayenne. In another small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
4
Working with a few at a time, dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour, then into the egg wash, then back into the seasoned flour, coating the shrimp completely. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-4 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
5
Slice the French loaves or rolls in half and butter both cut sides. I quickly grilled my rolls in a non-stick skillet, but this extra step is optional. Slather both cut sides of bread or rolls with tartar sauce. Divide the shrimp evenly between the 4 sandwiches and top with the tomato slices and shredded lettuce. Press the sandwich together a bit and serve your 'c'est magnifique' shrimp po' boys with icy cold beer, Tabasco and a side of Zydeco, cher.
