Mardi Gras Shrimp Po'Boy

Home Chef delivered one of the BEST meals yet. This Mardi Gras Shrimp Po'Boy...good heavens it was delicious.

Because this is a Home Chef recipe, I'm guessing on the amounts. Adjust as you see fit.

Mardi Gras Shrimp Po'Boy

Recipe from Home Chef
Serves 2

1 Romaine heart, chopped
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
16 shrimp (16/20 count - average size shrimp), shelled and deveined
2 tsp Cajun Seasoning (I'd add more as it wasn't as full of flavor as I had expected)
1 1/2 oz mayo
1 oz dill pickle relish
2 Italian hoagie rolls
1/2 fl oz seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 oz honey

Olive oil, salt/pepper

Prep your veggies. Chop lettuce coarsely. Core roma tomatoes and cut into 1/2" dice.

Rinse shrimp and pat dry. Combine shrimp with 1 tsp olive oil and half the Cajun Seasoning in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.

Make your remoulade by combining mayo, pickle relish and remaining Cajun seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Warm a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Toast the bread. Slice the bread and brush with olive oil and place on the grill. Grill until browned, 1-2 minutes. Set aside.

Using the same pan, lightly coat with cooking spray. Place shrimp on grill pan and grill until shrimp is firm and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Make the salad. Combine the seasoned rice vinegar, honey and 2 tsp olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the romaine and tomato and toss to combine.

To plate, Spread remoulade on one side of the Italian rolls. Arrange romaine/tomato salad over remoulade and top with grilled shrimp.

JW note: I'd double the remoulade. I like my po'boy saucy. I'd also add a bit more Cajun seasoning as the flavor was muted.
