    Directions

    1. Prepare Remoulade Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together 1/3 cup Hy-Vee mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Hy-Vee coarse ground mustard, 2 tablespoons hot chile sauce, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion, 1 tablespoon capers, 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish. Cover and let stand until serving time.

    2. Preheat broiler. Brush cut sides of hoagie buns with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler for 1 minute or until golden. Set buns aside.
    3. For batter, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, beer, water, parsley, salt and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined.

Working in batches, dip shrimp in batter and drop into the hot oil. Fry for 2 minutes or until golden, gently turning to ensure all sides are fried. Drain on paper towels.
