Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Breading Setup

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with crushed tortilla chips.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with crushed tortilla chips.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Napa Cabbage Slaw Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine napa cabbage, shredded carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Jalapeno Dill Pickle Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine chopped dill pickles, sour cream, jalapeno, fresh dill, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Po Boys

    Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, but not all the way through. Fill each roll with a generous amount of napa cabbage slaw, followed by crispy tortilla crusted shrimp, and drizzle with jalapeno dill pickle sauce.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the shrimp po boys immediately with extra slaw and sauce on the side.
