Po'boy Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix the buttermilk and Cajun seasoning. Add the shrimp and let marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal and flour. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and dredge in the cornmeal mixture, coating well.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded shrimp in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Po'boy

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Close the sandwich and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Po'boy!
