Half Shrimp Po'boy

Method

Half Shrimp Po'boy

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together. Dip each shrimp into the buttermilk mixture, then coat with the cornmeal mixture.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Po'boy

    Slice the French bread in half horizontally. Spread remoulade sauce on both sides. Layer with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickles, and fried shrimp. Close the sandwich and cut in half if desired.

Seafood Gumbo

  1. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large pot, cook the sliced Andouille sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 6

    Make the Gumbo Base

    Add the cooked sausage back into the pot along with the chicken stock, bay leaves, okra, and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes.

  4. 7

    Add Shrimp

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Ladle the gumbo into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot alongside the shrimp po'boy.
