Preheat the oven to 450°F. 

Remoulade:  .  In a medium bowl, add the corn, capers, Calabrian chilles, banana peppers, mustard, mayonnaise.  Stir to combine.

Cut the rolls in half and place cut side up on a cookie sheet.  Cut or pull out the excess bread from the center of the rolls.  Lightly paint with olive.  Toast in the oven for 6-8 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.

While the rolls toast, place the cornmeal in a medium bowl.  Roughly chop the shrimp into 1/4” pieces.  Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.  Pat into 8 patties and add the cornmeal coat the outside.  Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pan until a pinch of cornmeal in the oil will sizzle.  Working in batches if necessary, add the coated shrimp into the pan.  Cook on one side until shrimp is half cooked – about 1-2 minutes.  Flip shrimp and repeat until cooked through.  Remove from heat and season with salt and black pepper.  Repeat process until all shrimp is cooked.

Plating: Divide the remoulade evenly among the toasted roll tops & bottoms.  Top the remoulade with the cooked shrimp patties.  Top with tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste.  Complete the sandwiches with roll tops.
