Po' Boy Sandwich Recipe
We’re heading down to New Orleans today with a classic Po’ Boy Sandwich recipe that Bubba Gump would be proud of.
For those who are interested in the origin of the name, check out our good friends over at ForknPlate who take the time to share some real history.
Now, if you can’t get hold of breaded shrimps, which are similar to prawns but salt water variety, depending on where you are, scampi makes a good alternative.
Ok, it’s time now to put on some Louis Armstrong, roll up our sleeves and get to making us a Po’ Boy.
How to Make a Po' Boy Sandwich
This is a very easy recipe to make. First we’ll start by preparing the special mayonnaise sauce.
Mix 1 tsp of Cajun spice with a generous amount of mayo, add some Tabasco sauce, plus a single tsp of horseradish sauce if you have some lying around.
Next up, is to place your breaded shrimp or scampi in the oven on a medium heat. Follow the guidelines on the packet for best results.
Take a French baguette and slice down the middle. Spread a generous amount of the mayo sauce we made earlier along both cut sides of the bread.
Finely chop some lettuce and sprinkle all the way along the baguette, followed by some gherkins.
Remove the breaded shrimp from the oven and layer onto our crispy lettuce and tangy gherkins.
Finally top with some slices of salad tomato, however many you like to your taste.
That’s it folks. We now have a classic Po’ Boy sandwich to enjoy.
All while listening to the great Satchmo himself. What a wonderful world it is…
