Po' boys are traditional New Orleans sandwiches stuffed with meat or seafood and often "dressed" with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and mayonnaise. This crowd-size version, made on a large Italian loaf, goes one further with a drizzle of warm garlic butter.

Ingredients

One 18-ounce box frozen popcorn shrimp
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dill pickle chips
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons hot sauce, plus more for serving
One 20-by-5-inch loaf soft French or Italian bread (about 1 pound)
4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce (about 1/2 small head)
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

Cook the shrimp according to the package instructions.
Meanwhile, add the butter, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small pot over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic softens and toasts slightly, about 10 minutes.
Finely chop 1/3 cup of the pickles and whisk together with the sour cream, mayonnaise, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds black pepper in a small bowl.
Slice the bread in half lengthwise, leaving one of the long sides connected, and open the loaf like a book. Hollow out the middle of the bread about 1/4 inch deep, saving the crumbs for another use. Spread the mayonnaise mixture over the bread, layer on the lettuce, tomato and remaining 2/3 cup pickle chips and top with the cooked shrimp. Stir the parsley into the butter mixture and drizzle over the sandwich. Top with a couple dashes hot sauce. Close the sandwich and cut into 4 portions. Serve with potato chips on the side.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Whisk the flour and Creole seasoning in a shallow bowl. Add the eggs to another shallow bowl and the panko to a third shallow bowl. Dredge the shrimp in the flour, followed by the egg and finally coat with the panko, shaking off any excess in between dredges.
Working in batches, fry the shrimp until golden brown, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Drain the shrimp on paper towel- lined plate and season with salt.
Add the garlic to the melted butter and brush on the inside of each roll. Toast the rolls in the oven until golden brown and crispy, about 7 minutes.
Spread the Tartar Sauce on each roll, top with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, 5 fried shrimp and some shredded cabbage.
In a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper, to taste.;

"Authentic Cajun popcorn is actually deep-fried crawfish tails seasoned with peppery spices," explains Bogalusa, Louisiana field editor Ruby Williams. "But we like this lighter, simpler version made with real popcorn. It's our favorite TV snack."
