Steps
In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees using a Candy/Deep Fry Termometer.
Prepare spicy mayo by combining all ingredients together and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp with kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika. In another medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk and hot sauce. In a separate medium sized bowl, combine flour and cornmeal. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and a baking rack. Line bowls up next to heated oil and set baking sheet on the other side to place cooked shrimp.
Working in small batches, dip seasoned shrimp in buttermilk mixture, then in flour/cornmeal mixture, then carefully add to hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until shrimp are a light golden brown. Use a spider strainer to stir shrimp occassionally while frying and transfer to baking rack to cool.
Assemble sandwiches by piling soft rolls with fried shrimp, shredded lettuce and fresh tomatoes. Serve with mayo/spicy mayo, hot sauce and dill pickle chips.
