Shrimp Po’ Boy Sandwich Recipe – How to Make a Shrimp Po’ Boy Sandwich
Ingredients
1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
2-3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning or Creole seasoning blend (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 French sandwich rolls or use baguettes
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 large tomato sliced
1 jalapeno pepper thinly sliced (optional for some spiciness)
FOR THE REMOULADE (Homemade Po Boy Sauce)
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha or use chili sauce
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard or use Creole mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish I used HOT
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 jalapeno pepper minced
1 small shallot minced
2 cloves garlic minced (or use garlic powder)
Juice from half a lemon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning blend
Cayenne pepper to taste
Hot sauce to taste
Instructions
First, season your shrimp with a good helping of Cajun or Creole Seasonings.
Heat a grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the shrimp a couple minutes per side, until they are cooked through. Alternatively, cook the shrimp on the stove top in a grill pan, or saute them in a large oiled pan.
While the shrimp is grilling, lightly toast your French rolls. They are best when they are crispy on the outside but nice and soft on the inside.
Pile the grilled shrimp onto the buns along with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced peppers (optional, I like to include them).
Finally, drizzle them with a creamy Cajun remoulade sauce that really nails the flavor. So delicious.
FOR THE REMOULADE
Whisk or mix all of the remoulade ingredients together in a medium bowl. Or, process them together in a blender or food processor. Use as needed.
Notes
This makes 2 large sandwiches. You can easily divide the ingredients to make 4 smaller sandwiches.
