A shrimp po’ boy is a simple sandwich to construct… You have shrimp, lettuce, tomatoes, and bread. What sets this sandwich apart is the sauce that you serve it with, and how you prepare the shrimp… Oh, and let’s not forget the bun you serve it on. This recipe uses a rather spicy sauce that you can dress down to meet your particular tastes, and a spice mix for the shrimp that really gives it a kick in the right direction. So you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
