SHRIMP PO'BOY
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.

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.

FAMOUS NEW ORLEANS PEACEMAKER PO BOY
If you don't already know, there's a rule that says not to combine cheese with seafood. I agree with that almost all of the time. On the peacemaker Po-Boy that rule flies out the window! The peacemaker on Magazine Street in New Orleans made this amazing Po-Boy famous.It doesn't have debris, it's not a half and half. It definitely isn't a multi-coldcut sandwich. Others make it with all kinds of things that make no sense. Whenever you try to duplicate a Po-Boy that you've had at a restaurant, always remember the first rule - Use the name brand ingredients that YOU like.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400* F.
- No matter where you live, most French bread is very thick, and for this sandwich you want to taste more ingredients than bread. Slice the bread in half longways to make a top and a bottom. Pull out some of the soft center of the bread on both halves, but don't remove too much. Brush the inside of each half with the melted butter. Lightly toast the bread in the oven, and while you're waiting spread any remaining butter on the bread that you pulled out of the loaf and stuff your face. Smile and enjoy!
- On the bottom half of the toasted bread, spread it liberally with Creole Tartar Sauce. Generously layer the fried oysters, and squeeze a lemon wedge over the oysters and a few drops of hot sauce if desired.
- Place the cheese slices across the oysters. Now add the bacon on top of the cheese. At this point if you want the cheese melted put just the bottom half into the oven for about a minute or two just to reheat the oysters and bacon. Set bottom half aside.
- On the top half of the toasted bread, spread it liberally with Cajun Cocktail Sauce. Layer dill slices on top of the cocktail sauce, then add the shredded lettuce and finally top the lettuce with sliced tomatoes.
- Place both halves side by side and quickly flip the top half onto the bottom halve. Cut sandwich on a diagonal. C'est ci bon!
