Easy Shrimp Po Boy Dressed Recipes

Steps:

• 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 seafood 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.
• Pile lettuce and tomato on rolls and top with shrimp, douse the shrimp with a little lemon juice. Mix relish, mustard and hot sauce and dot the roll tops with spoonfuls of the sauce before setting into place.

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.

Steps:

• Rinse shrimp and shake off excess water.
• In small batches (7-8 at a time), shake shrimp in flour.
• Wash in beaten eggs, remove excess.
• Coat in cracker crumbs.
• Heat oil (1/2" deep) in skillet to hot -- about 350 degrees.
• Fry shrimp until medium brown -- about 8-10 minutes, turning once halfway. In a deep fryer, cut the time in half.
• While shrimp are frying, spread 1 tbs mayo on both sides of the baguettes.
• Drain shrimp on paper towels.
• Assemble sandwich as follows:.
• On bottom of baguettes, arrange 7 shrimp.
• Cover with lettuce.
• Add 3 slices of tomato.
• Put on the top part of the baguettes and slice in half.
• Serves 4 -- including your 3 new best friends. Enjoy.
• Note about the bread -- Ciabattas LOOK right, but they are too dry. Find a bakery that has subtantial, non-wimpy French baguettes -- about 3" across. Better yet, if you are a baker, make them yourself with square ends. If all you can find is "skinny" baguettes, just make more sandwiches with fewer shrimp.
• Note on Roumalade sauce -- many recipes will call for Roumalade sauce instead of mayo. This is a trendy affectation that ignores the humble beginnings of the po' boy (a free sandwich for striking New Orleans transit workers). If you need a "kick" just add a tablepoon of cayenne (or less) to the flour.

Steps:

• Combine butter and garlic, spread on rolls and toast in the oven until brown. Heat oil in a 2 quart saucepan until 360 degrees. Mix creole seasoning and flour. Dredge shrimp in flour then egg; roll in panko. Fry shrimp in batches until golden brown. Spread remoulade sauce on all 4 rolls. Top with shrimp, followed by shredded lettuce.
• Remoulade sauce: Mix mayo, horseradish, pickle relish, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, and ponzu in a bowl.

Steps:

• Stir together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons water, and shrimp. In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, celery, relish, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy pot with 2 inches of oil over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer reads 375 degrees. Season cornmeal with salt and pepper. Remove shrimp from mayo mixture, letting excess drip off; toss in cornmeal mixture. Working in batches, lift shrimp to let excess cornmeal fall off; add to oil. Fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes a batch. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet; season with salt. Lightly toast rolls; spread split sides with remoulade. Top with lettuce, tomato, and shrimp; serve with hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon.
