Make a Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich

A "Po-Boy" sandwich is a traditional sub sandwich that you can find in New Orleans, Louisiana. This is the shrimp version of the sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 french baguette/bread (cut in half)
  • 5.5 ounces (150 grams) of peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • Shredded lettuce
  • 1 sliced tomato

Steps

  1. Get a small bowl and mix the lemon juice, mayonnaise, and Tabasco sauce together. Place the bowl on the side for later use.
  2. Mix all of the spices (garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, paprika, and thyme) in another bowl. Sprinkle a dash of salt and pepper in there as well.
  3. Cover the shrimp pieces very well into the spice bowl from the last step. The amount of spices on the shrimp is up to you.
  4. Oil and heat a frying pan while you add the coated shrimp pieces. Remove them from the heat when both sides achieve a good reddish color.
  5. Take the bread halves and spread your mayonnaise on them. Place a few tomato slices and lettuce pieces evenly throughout the bread piece.
  6. Distribute the shrimp mixture evenly onto the lettuce and tomatoes. Put the two bread pieces together and enjoy.

Tips

  • If you have popcorn shrimp, you can substitute that with the regular shrimp. Plus, you can also deep fry the shrimp instead of using a pan.
