Shrimp Po Boy

Ingredients
4 soft sub rolls (Hoagies)
2 cups of Canola oil
1-3 tbsps of mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups of Jumbo crab meat
1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese
31-40 ct. Large shrimp
1 small Butter lettuce
Sriracha (to taste)
Tony's cajun seasoning (enough to coat shrimp)
2-3 cups of Buttermilk
2 tbsps of Butter
1/2 cup of flour
1-2 tbsps of Cornstarch
1-2 Roma tomatoes

Directions

1) Take the Buttermilk and put it in a bowl along with the shrimp. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2) While the shrimp are marinating, take the Hoagies and split them in half to open the bread up for the sandwich.
3) Take the butter and melt in a skillet.
4) When butter begins to sizzle, add the bread in the pan with the inside portion down.
5) Once that bread appears to be golden brown, remove it from the skillet.
6) Drain buttermilk off of shrimp and set aside.
7) Take the canola oil in a pot and bring it up to a medium heat.
8) Mix cornstarch,  Tony's seasoning,  and flour in a bowl.
9) Take the shrimp and toss it in the dry mixture. Make sure to shake off any excess flour.
10) Once the oil is ready for frying, add the shrimp in one at a time. Make sure not to over crowd the pot. Keep a watchful eye over the shrimp because they only need about 4-5 minutes. When ready, place the shrimp on a napkin to soak up the excess oil.
11) While the shrimp are frying, you can combine the crabmeat and mayonnaise together and spread on the bottom of the hoagie bread.
12) Slice the tomatoes and place on top of the crabmeat mixture.
13) Take a few pieces of lettuce and place on the sandwich and top it all off with the shrimp.
