Instructions
 

  • In a colander, sprinkle the eggplant with salt and let it drain while you prepare the other components of the recipe.
  • In a large saucepan, heat the shrimp in the water and crab boil.
  • Bring to a boil; then, turn off the heat to let the shrimp soak in the liquid.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, onion, green onion, celery, horseradish mustard, ketchup, parsley, salt, cayenne, 2 splashes of hot sauce, Worcestershire and mayonnaise.
  • Mix well and set aside. You can add more ketchup if you want the remoulade sauce to be a darker pink color.
  • Rinse the eggplant slices with water, drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Set up a breading station, using 3 pie pans or shallow plates. In one, combine the Carbquick, Creole seasoning and pepper. In another, combine the eggs, a couple of dashes of hot sauce and milk. In the third, add the breadcrumbs, salt and more creole seasoning.
  • Heat the oil in a pan.

  • Bread the remaining eggplant slices.
  • Fry the eggplant in the hot oil until golden brown.
  • Place on another baking sheet lined with some paper towel with a wire rack.
  • Drain the shrimp. They should be cooked after soaking in the hot liquid.
