Salt and Pepper Shrimp Rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 2-½ cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ tsp. garlic, grated
  • 1 tsp. ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 4 hoagie rolls or hot dog buns, preferably top-split
  • 1-pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 Fresno chilies, thinly sliced 
  • Tender cilantro sprigs, for garnish 
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet, heat 1 inch of oil, over medium-high, until an instant-read thermometer registers 350°F.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and garlic; mix well.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine pepper and salt.
  • Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Using 1 teaspoon of garlic mayonnaise per bun, spread on outer sides of buns, then toast, in non-stick skillet, until golden, about 1 minute per side; transfer to plates.
  • Season shrimp with about 1 teaspoon of the pepper-salt, dip in milk; dredge in cornstarch, gently pressing so cornstarch adheres.
  • Working in two batches, fry shrimp until crispy and cooked through, turning halfway; about 2 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Season with more of the pepper-salt mixture.
  • Smear some garlic mayonnaise on the inner center of buns and divide shrimp among buns.
  • Top with chilies, cilantro and more pepper salt; serve with lime wedges.
