This iconic sandwich is a true taste of the Big Easy, and today, we're sharing our recipe to help you recreate this mouthwatering delight in the comfort of your own home. So, let's dive into the flavors of New Orleans as we guide you through the steps of making your very own Po' Boy sandwich.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the remoulade sauce. Whisk together until well blended. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Coat the shrimp in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Spread a generous amount of the remoulade sauce on the cut sides of the French baguettes.
Layer the baguettes with lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, crispy fried shrimp, and sliced pickles.
Cut the sandwiches into individual portions and serve immediately.
