Fried Shrimp Poboy Ingredients

Method

Directions for Fried Shrimp Poboy

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, and cajun seasoning. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip the shrimp into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Poboy

    Slice the French bread loaves lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise on both sides, then layer with shredded lettuce, fried shrimp, and tomato slices. Add hot sauce to taste.

  5. 5

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
