My husband had his first shrimp po' boy while stationed in Louisiana. They were so good that we went searching for a recipe to make them at home. The heart of the recipe is the spicy remoulade sauce. I am not a fan of horseradish so I just omitted it. These were a snap to make and delicious with the perfect amount of a kick!
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, deveined
- Salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 cup cornmeal or bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Tony Chachere's Famous Creole Seasoning
- 4 soft hoagie rolls split
- tomato, sliced
- lettuce
- mayonnaise
- hot sauce
Preheat 1-inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Beat egg and milk together. Pull tails off shrimp. Salt shrimp then soak in milk batter. Before you begin breading the shrimp, cover a plate with plastic wrap for easy clean up then mix together the flour, cornmeal or bread crumbs and seasoning on the plate. Using tongs, remove a few shrimp at a time and coat in breading. Add breaded shrimp to the hot oil and fry them 5 to 6 minutes or until firm and deeply golden all over. Using a spatula, spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. Pile lettuce and tomato on rolls and top with shrimp, douse the shrimp with a little hot sauce.

OH SWEET DELICIOUSNESS!!! Can I tell you as a woman BORN AND RAISED on the Gulf Coast next door to Louisiana I LOVE Cajun food! LOOOOOOOVE IT! Now.....can I tell you that seafood in AZ does NOT taste the same! It's as if there is NO SALT in the pacific and all the seafood is skinny and anorexic!!! AND people out here just seem to be afraid of spices!! EVEN the Mexican restaurants out here taste like retirement home white people food!! It's OK I can make fun of white people....I'm half white!! HAHAH!
OH and come on over today! Today is day 1 in a WEEK OF GIVEAWAY on my blog!!! :)

Super yum. A shrimp po'boy from a Louisiana style restaurant in Montana is probably the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. I just adore po'boys now, and this recipe looks fantastic :D
Oh my heck! I need this right now! Looks absolutely heavenly!!!
I've never had Po Boy, but it looks so incredibly delicious...! I love shrimps, especially when coated in batter and fried. This is a must-try! Thank you for sharing the recipe, Brandi :).

Oh my gosh! This looks so delish!
I remember I had one about three years ago when I went to NOLA.
I think mine was too spicy. Something just wasn't right.
I am going to try to use your recipe and see what happens.

Hi Brandi! The sandwiches look amazing! I am so going to try these. Thanks so much for linking to the Sunday Showcase Party - I greatly appreciate it. I am a little behind commenting - but I have featured this last week. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead ~ Stephanie Lynn
Oh, Yum I say even though I'm vegetarian. I do miss poboys. Nobody here in California knows what a poboy is! You have brought back memories of eating shrimp and oyster poboys in French Quarter! I'm hungry now!
