 THE ULTIMATE NEW ORLEANS SHRIMP PO’ BOY 

 THE ULTIMATE NEW ORLEANS SHRIMP PO’ BOY 

Looking for that iconic “Big Easy” flavor? ⚜️ The Shrimp Po’ Boy is the king of Southern sandwiches. It’s all about the contrast: hot, crispy fried shrimp against cool, shredded lettuce and a spicy, creamy remoulade sauce.
Here is how to make the perfect one at home! 👇

 THE SIGNATURE REMOULADE SAUCE

Mix these together and chill for 30 mins:
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 tbsp Hot Sauce (Adjust to your heat level!)
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp Paprika & Worcestershire sauce

 THE CRISPY SHRIMP

The Breading: Mix 1 cup flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, and 2 tsp Cajun seasoning.
The Dip: Whisk 2 eggs with 1/2 cup milk.
The Fry: Dip shrimp in egg, coat in cornmeal mix, and fry at 180°C until golden brown (about 3 minutes).
Drain: Place on a wire rack so they stay crunchy!

 THE ASSEMBLY (“DRESSED”)

The Bread: Use a crusty French baguette. Slice lengthwise and toast with a little butter.
The Spread: Slather that homemade Remoulade on both sides.
The Layers: Start with pickles, pile on the fried shrimp, and top with shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes.

 PRO TIPS FOR SUCCESS:

Don’t Overcrowd: Fry the shrimp in small batches so the oil stays hot.
The Bread Matters: Look for bread that is crispy on the outside but airy and soft on the inside.
The “Dress”: In New Orleans, asking for it “Dressed” means you want the lettuce, tomato, and pickles!
