"The shrimp Po' Boy is the historic New Orleans sandwich assembled on a baguette with crispy shrimp breaded in wheat flour and cornmeal, tomato slices, lettuce, and spicy sauce. It is worth assembling at home for the explosion of textures between the soft bread and the crispy breaded shellfish."

Chef Tips
- Drain the fried shrimp on a wire rack or double paper towel to keep them totally crispy.
- Lightly toast the inside of the baguette in a dry skillet with butter to waterproof the bread against the tomato moisture.
- Spread a spoonful of tartar sauce or seasoned mayonnaise on both halves of the bread before placing the lettuce and shrimp.
Variations
- Fried fish Po' Boy: replace the shrimp with strips of tilapia fillet or white fish breaded in cornmeal.
- Po' Boy with pickles: add generous slices of sweet and sour cucumber pickles along with the tomato for a refreshing contrast.
- Bacon version: add strips of crispy fried bacon interspersed with the breaded shrimp.
Substitutions
- Pão baguete: use pão francês fresco, pão ciabatta macio ou pão de leite comprido para sanduíches.
- Fubá de milho: pode ser substituído por farinha de milho fina, semolina ou farinha panko.
- Molho picante: utilize molho remoulade caseiro (maionese com mostarda dijon e páprica) ou maionese de alho.
How to Store
The sandwich must be consumed immediately after assembly. Fried breaded shrimp can be stored in a container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer at 200 ºC for 3 minutes.
Can You Freeze It?
Do not freeze the ready sandwich. Freeze only the raw breaded shrimp on a baking sheet until hardened and store in a plastic bag for up to 60 days, frying directly frozen in hot oil.
What to Serve With
Accompany with crispy french fries, breaded onion rings or plantain chips. A well-chilled craft lager beer or fresh lemonade with mint harmonize with mastery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the origin of the name Po' Boy?
The name comes from 'poor boy', created in the 1920s in New Orleans by restaurant owners to feed striking streetcar conductors.
Why use cornmeal in the breading mixture?
The cornmeal gives a crunchy, grainy texture that doesn't soften easily when in contact with the spicy sauce inside the bread.
Qual a temperatura ideal do óleo para fritar os camarões?
Mantenha o óleo a 180 ºC; se estiver frio, os camarões ficam encharcados; se estiver quente demais, o fubá queima antes de cozinhar o camarão.
How do I prevent the filling from falling out when biting into the baguette?
Cut the bread without completely separating the back part, creating a 'V' opening that holds the shrimp and vegetables in place.
