Shrimp Poboy Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk. Dip the shrimp in the buttermilk mixture, then coat in the flour mixture.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make Spicy Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and hot sauce together until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Poboys

    Slice the French bread loaves in half. Spread the spicy mayo on both sides of the bread. Layer with fried shrimp, lettuce, and sliced tomato.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Shrimp Poboy!
