Shrimp Po Boy Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the shrimp in the beaten egg, then coat with the cornmeal mixture.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. 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

    Assemble the Po Boy

    Slice the French bread or Po Boy rolls in half. Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on the inside of each roll. Layer with fried shrimp, lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and drizzle with hot sauce.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Close the sandwich and serve immediately, with extra hot sauce on the side if desired.
