Crispy New Orleans-Style Shrimp Po’ Boy Sandwich

  • Serve immediately for the best texture — the shrimp are crispiest right after frying.

  • Store leftover fried shrimp separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.

  • The remoulade sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Variations

  • Spicy Kick: Add extra hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne to the batter for more heat.

  • Seafood Mix: Combine shrimp with fried oysters or catfish for a mixed seafood Po’ Boy.

  • Healthier Option: Use air-fried or baked shrimp for a lighter version without losing flavor.

  • Bread Swap: Substitute baguettes with soft hoagie rolls or ciabatta for a slightly different texture.
