Shrimp and Assembly

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Dredge the shrimp in this mixture until well coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated shrimp in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Po' Boy

    Spread a layer of Thai chili sauce on the inside of each sub roll. Add a generous amount of fried shrimp, followed by shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Drizzle more Thai chili sauce on top if desired.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the Po' Boys in half if desired and serve immediately.
