Shrimp Po Boy Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet & Spicy Mayo

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together egg and buttermilk.

  3. 3

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp first in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Po Boy

    Slice the toasted baguette in half lengthwise. Spread a generous amount of sweet & spicy mayo on both sides. Layer with crispy shrimp, pickled vegetables, shredded cabbage, and chopped cilantro.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with house fries on the side.
