The Shrimp Po' Boy is a regional specialty from Louisiana that has gained popularity throughout the United States. It originated in the early 20th century, when streetcar workers went on strike, and the owners of the sandwich shop Benny's decided to show solidarity by providing sandwiches to the workers. The sandwich was later known as Poor Boy, and the name evolved to Po' Boy over time. The Shrimp Po' Boy is a classic version filled with crispy and golden shrimp, lettuce, and a creamy sauce served on a French roll. It's a satisfying and filling meal that offers a lot of flavor and texture in every bite.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oil to 375 degrees in a deep fryer or deep pot.
2.Meanwhile, brush the insides of the rolls with melted butter and garlic. Toast in the oven for a few minutes.
3.Spread a generous amount of remoulade sauce on each side. Set aside.
4.In a bowl, mix the eggs and the creole seasoning.
5.On another plate, mix flour and breadcrumbs.
6.Dip the shrimp in the egg mixture, then coat with flour mixture. Shake off the excess. Repeat one more time for extra crispy coating.
7.Deep fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
8.Combine mayonnaise, ponzu sauce, horseradish, pickle relish, garlic, and cayenne pepper in another bowl.
9.Spread the sauce generously on the inside of the toasted rolls. Add shredded lettuce on top.
10.Add the crispy shrimp on top. Serve hot and enjoy!

PROS

The crispy and crunchy shrimp coating creates a perfect contrast to the soft and chewy rolls.

The creamy and zesty sauce cuts through the grease, making it a balanced meal.

Easy to make at home and can be enjoyed any time of the day.

CONS

Deep-frying the shrimp makes them high in calories and fat.

The bread and remoulade sauce also contribute to the calorie count.

May not be suitable for people with seafood allergies.
