SHRIMP PO'BOY



Shrimp Po'Boy image

Many believe that brothers Benny and Clovis Martin created the first version of a po'boy as a free meal for striking New Orleans streetcar drivers in 1929. According to legend, the Martins would say "Here comes another poor boy!" when someone approached for a sandwich, which was half a French bread loaf stuffed with fillings like fried shrimp and oysters.

Time 30m

Yield 4 shrimp po'boys

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon salt-free Cajun seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon hot sauce (preferably Louisiana-style)
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and patted dry
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced dill pickles
2 tablespoons minced shallot or sweet onion
2 teaspoons hot sauce (preferably Louisiana- style), plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 French-bread rolls, split
Shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the shrimp: Whisk the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Stir together the milk and hot sauce in a large bowl; add the shrimp. Working in batches, remove the shrimp from the milk mixture, letting the excess drip off, and add to the bowl with the flour mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate 15 minutes to let the coating set.
  • Meanwhile, make the rémoulade: Combine the mayonnaise, pickles, shallot and hot sauce in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry the shrimp: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360˚ F. Working in batches, fry the shrimp until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the prepared baking sheet with a slotted spoon; season with salt. Adjust the heat as needed between batches.
  • Meanwhile, put the rolls on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Spread the rémoulade on the cut sides and fill with lettuce, the shrimp and tomatoes. Serve with more hot sauce.

KIKKOMAN'S SHRIMP PO'BOYS



Kikkoman's Shrimp Po'Boys image

This is a recipe from the Kikkoman's Kitchen that I have been wanting to try for awhile. I didn't have the Ponzu Lime Sauce for the remoulade so I improvised and made my own with soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, sugar, and True Lime (dried lime crystals). We added sliced tomatoes and passed the bottle of tabasco around the table. These spicy and crunchy shrimp sandwiches were a huge hit.
