Shrimp Po’Boy
The paper-thin crust and pillowy crumb of a New Orleans—style French roll is essential to this classic sandwich—as is Crystal hot sauce.
- 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp (about 36), peeled, deveined
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 4 8″-long French rolls, split horizontally
- Rémoulade (go to bonappetit.com for recipe) or mayonnaise
- Shredded iceberg lettuce
- Sliced tomatoes
- Dill pickles
- Hot pepper sauce (optional), preferably Crystal
Whisk first 8 ingredients in a small bowl to blend.
Attach a deep-fry thermometer to side of a heavy wide pot. Add enough oil to measure 2″. Heat over medium heat to 350°.
Meanwhile, place shrimp and 2 tablespoons spice mix in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Pour buttermilk into another medium bowl. Whisk flour and cornmeal in another medium bowl.
Dip seasoned shrimp briefly in buttermilk, then coat with flour mixture. Working in batches, fry shrimp, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Open rolls and spread cut sides with rémoulade. Top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and shrimp. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.

Oh, that sounds good. You should post it in Real Good Eats, too.
Thanks... Will do that..
Ken, I am already nervous about the game, since my team is in it that the though of food, almost makes me nauseous. Though I can see plenty of people eating and snacking, for me I need total isolation while watching. 2007 brings back to many bad memories with that Velcro catch in the last 2 minutes.
Winston... Totally understand.. It's a big game this time. Too bad the 49's killed themselves. For me that would have been better being from the west coast. You understand... SF 49's, SF Giants...
