How to make it
- Note:
- After years of living in the Big Easy, Dan was a big fan of po’boys, the classic New Orleans sandwich, often made with deep-fried shrimp. He wanted to replicate the flavors at home, without the messy deep-frying. His delicious rendition was good enough to snag a runner-up award in our creative sandwich contest. Here’s what we discovered when we made Dan’s sandwich:
- Test Kitchen Discoveries
- Instead of deep-frying the shrimp, make a rich shrimp salad and top the sandwich with toasted, buttered breadcrumbs mixed with bacon and scallions to replicate the crunchy texture of a deep-fried coating.
- Hollow out the sub roll to make room for the filling. The removed bread is ground up for the breadcrumbs.
