Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Shrimp and Onion

In a bowl, toss the jumbo shrimp and sliced onion with olive oil and Cajun seasoning. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

2

Make the Pepper Jack Cream Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Pepper Jack cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

3

Grill the Shrimp and Onion

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque. Grill the onions until they are tender and have grill marks.

4

Assemble the Po' Boy

Slice the French baguette lengthwise. Place grilled shrimp and onions inside. Pour the Pepper Jack cream sauce over the top and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

5

Melt the Cheese

Place the assembled Po' Boy under a broiler for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6

Serve

Remove from the oven, slice into portions, and serve immediately.
