Ingredients for Po'Boys

Method

Directions for Preparing Po'Boys

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and Cajun seasoning. Add the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal and flour together with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dredge the marinated shrimp in the mixture, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Po'Boys

    Slice the French bread lengthwise and spread mayonnaise on both sides. Layer in the fried shrimp, then top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and a drizzle of hot sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Close the sandwiches and serve with extra hot sauce on the side.
