GRILLED SHRIMP PO' BOY WITH PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES
I love a shrimp po'boy. For this version, instead of frying the shrimp, I thought it would be nice to lighten things up and grill them instead. The natural sweetness of the Carolina shrimp really comes through when it's paired with the pickled green tomatoes and tangy aioli.
