TARTAR SAUCE:
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat 2-inches vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the temperature registers 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.

    Although this is not the traditional Po' Boy sandwich, this is a tasty sandwich. This sandwich is a good change from some of the standbys I usually make. It is fairly quick and easy to make and there is nothing left over after I make it. I will continue to make it.

    This looks like a really delicious sandwich but it is NOT a poboy.
    Poboys are made on French bread made in New Orleans. They come traditionally "dressed" as we call it, with lettuce, tomato, pickle and plain old store bought mayo or you can make it at home. The coating for the shrimp is a fish fry or a mixture of cornmeal and flour or just a dusting of flour.
    The bread is typically not oven toasted. It's laid face down on a stove top grill to crisp up the top layer of the inside of the bread. There is no butter added and garlic is nowhere in a poboy. The bread should be soft and warm, never crunchy and toasty.
    If you were to walk into any poboy shop or restaurant in New Orleans to order a poboy, this is not what you would get. But it does look really delicious.
    I'm giving it 2 stars because it looks good but is not authentic.
