Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using petite scallops, pat dry. Let oil in pan heat, 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, cook undisturbed, 90 seconds. After 90 seconds, stir occasionally until scallops reach minimum internal temperature, 60-90 seconds. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  1. 1

    Roast the Fries

    Cut potatoes into 1/4" fries and pat dry.

    Place fries on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, half the Creole seasoning (to taste; reserve remaining for shrimp), 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer.

    Roast in hot oven until slightly browned and tender, 25-30 minutes, tossing fries halfway through.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While fries roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Core tomato and cut into 1/2" rounds.

    Evenly spread panko on a plate.

    Pat shrimp dry.

    In a mixing bowl, combine tempura mix and 1/4 cup water until a thin batter forms, like pancake batter. If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Add shrimp to bowl with tempura batter and stir until coated.

    Place shrimp onto plate with panko and flip until coated on both sides, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Line another plate with a paper towel. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil. Let oil heat, 5 minutes.

    After 5 minutes, test oil temperature by adding a pinch of panko to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.

    Carefully add shrimp to hot pan. Cook until shrimp are golden-brown and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-4 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer shrimp to towel-lined plate and season all over with remaining Creole seasoning (to taste).

    While shrimp cook, continue recipe.

    To use an air fryer, place shrimp in basket in an even layer and generously spray with cooking spray. Air fry at 400 degrees until panko is crisp and shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 10-12 minutes, flipping and spraying with cooking spray halfway through. Carefully remove from basket.

  4. 4

    Toast the Rolls

    Place rolls directly on oven rack, cut-sides down.

    Toast in hot oven until slightly browned, 3-4 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, spreading remoulade sauce on cut-side of roll. Fill roll with tomatoes, then shrimp. Bon appétit!
