Zesty Shrimp Po Boys
Warm and buttery garlic shrimp topped with a horseradish Cajun sauce are the star features of this Zesty Shrimp Po Boy.
Equipment
- 1 Large Sauté Pan
Ingredients
For the sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons horseradish sauce
- ½ teaspoon Creole/Cajun seasoning more to taste if you like it spicier
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
For the shrimp:
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 lb medium or large shrimp cooked and tails removed (uncooked is fine, it will just take longer as it needs to cook through)
Other:
- 1 loaf large good quality French bread sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 to 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
Instructions
- To prepare the sauce: Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stir well and chill until ready to use.
- To prepare the shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter and garlic. After the butter has melted and cooked the garlic for a minute or so, add the shrimp. Stir the melted butter sauce to coat the shrimp and cook until the shrimp are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. If you use raw shrimp you will have to cook more like 4 minutes until pink. Remove from heat when warmed through.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread the zesty sauce on one or both sides of the cut French bread loaf. Top with shredded lettuce and the warm shrimp. Top with additional sauce if desired.
