Po-Boy Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    While the shrimp are frying, cut the Leidenheimer’s French bread loaves in half lengthwise. You can toast them lightly if desired.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Po-Boys

    Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. Layer the fried shrimp on the bottom half, followed by shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and pickles.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Close the sandwich and serve immediately with seasoned house chips on the side.
