Ingredients
  

  • REMOULADE
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickles
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon spicy deli mustard
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or hot paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper hot sauce such as Texas Pete
  • SANDWICHES
  • 2 slices crusty bread
  • butter for spreading
  • pound sea scallops halved or quartered to bite-sized pieces
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • oil for frying
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 small diced tomato
  • 2 tablespoons diced onion
  • lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • For the remoulade, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Taste, and adjust the seasonings to your preference. Set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler to high and spread butter on both sides of the bread. Broil the bread just until golden on both sides.
  • Preheat a large skillet with ¼ inch oil to medium-high heat for frying. Toss the scallops with the cornstarch and salt. When the oil is very hot (test it with just 1 scallop, it should sizzle), add the scallops in 1 layer. Fry the scallops for about 4 minutes, flipping when golden, until browned on all sides. Drain the scallops for a minute on paper towels.
  • To serve, layer a piece of bread, some veggies, a pile of scallops, and some remoulade. Top with a lemon wedge and serve!
