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

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

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.

  • 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.

Shrimp poboys are a traditional Louisiana sandwich that has become popular nationwide due to their savory taste and easy preparation. These sandwiches are an excellent dish for entertaining friends or family, taking on picnics or serving as a tasty lunch on hectic workdays. In this article, we will share valuable tips for making amazing shrimp poboys recipes that will leave everyone asking for more.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Shrimp

When it comes to making shrimp poboys, choosing the right kind of shrimp is key to achieving the perfect texture and flavor. Fresh, plump, and firm shrimp will yield the best results, so if you can, go to the nearest seafood shop and pick up some raw shrimp. If you're purchasing frozen shrimp, make sure it's already deveined, cleaned, and thawed before cooking.
Tip 1a: Shell-on or shell-off?
While everyone has their preferences regarding the shell, it's most common to remove the shells from the shrimp in a poboy sandwich. It's easier and more hygienic to eat. However, leaving the tail intact not only makes it look pretty, but it's also helpful in finishing touches. You can add a spicier kick to the dish by keeping the shells on while cooking and then removing them before adding the shrimp to the sandwich.

Tip 2: Spicing Up the Shrimp

While the right kind of shrimp is a priority, seasoning can make or break the taste of your sandwich. Making your own seasoning allows you to control the flavor and the level of spiciness. A popular Cajun spice includes cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. However, if you're not fond of spicy food, feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Tip 2a: Marinating the Shrimp
For extra flavor, you can marinate your shrimp in your preferred seasoning for 15-30 minutes before cooking. This step adds layers of taste to the shrimp, making them more flavorful and aromatic. While it's not a necessary step, it's worth doing if you have time.

Tip 3: Breading the Shrimp

Breading the shrimp is a crucial step, and it's what gives the sandwich its unique texture. Regardless, avoid over-breading or under-breading the shrimp as it can affect the final flavor and texture of the sandwich. The ideal scenario is perfecting the breaded shrimp's timing, creating a tender and crispy exterior while keeping the shrimp juicy on the inside.
Tip 3a: Flour vs. Cornmeal
Cornmeal and flour are the standard breading mix for shrimp poboys. Deep-frying battered seafood has been a staple in Louisiana since the 1800s, and many locals consider cornmeal coating as the staple ingredient, providing a crispy and coarse texture. In contrast, flour is lighter and results in a more delicate crust. Experiment with both to find your preference.

Tip 4: Making the Perfect Sandwich

The sandwich is undoubtedly the most critical aspect of the shrimp poboy. Balancing its ingredients can make or break the final product. When you're working on the sandwich, take into account the right bread, sauce, and toppings.
Tip 4a: Choosing the Right Bread
Traditionally, shrimp poboys are made with New Orleans-style French bread. It's baked to be crispy o the exterior and fluffy on the inside, perfect for holding a plethora of fillings without getting soggy. If you can't get your hands on any traditional bread, baguettes or hoagie rolls can be an acceptable substitute.
Tip 4b: The Best Toppings
Another standout feature of shrimp poboys is their extravagant toppings. The sandwich usually includes lettuce, tomato slices, and mayonnaise. If you want a more complex and intricate sandwich, try adding pickles, onions, hot sauce, or hot pepper jelly. Experiment with various toppings to make the sandwich truly personalized and enjoyable.

Conclusion

Shrimp poboys are a delicious sandwich that's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The above-listed tips can help you make amazing shrimp poboys recipes that will be the highlight of any meal. Always remember to choose the right shrimp, spice them up correctly, bread them adequately and balance the sandwich's ingredients. With these tips, you'll soon be making savory and mouth-watering shrimp poboys that will leave your family and friends wanting more.
