Po Boy Components

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the House Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Lemon Caper Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal and flour. Dip each shrimp in buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Po Boys

    Slice the hoagie rolls in half and layer with fried shrimp, house slaw, and sliced tomatoes. Drizzle with the lemon caper tartar sauce. Serve immediately.
