WHAT IS A PO’ BOY SANDWICH?

A po’boy is a traditional sandwich from Louisiana. It almost always consists of meat, which is usually roast beef or fried seafood, often shrimp, crawfish, fish, oysters, or crab served on New Orleans French bread.

WHY IS IT CALLED A PO’ BOY?

Po Boy Sandwich is also known as a Poor Boy sandwich. It originated in the French Market in 1922 during a streetcar strike. Restaurant workers serving the ‘Peacemaker’ sandwich jokingly referred to the strikers buying the sandwich as Poor Boys.

HELPFUL TIPS TO MAKE A SHRIMP PO’ BOY SANDWICH?

  • Shrimp. You need peeled and deveined raw shrimp. Either fresh or frozen shrimp is okay to use. I typically buy frozen in a medium size.
  • Cooking the shrimp. The two most important things to remember when cooking shrimp is don’t overcrowd the pan. They’ll steam instead of sear if they’re overcrowded. As well, watch shrimp closely. Shrimp cooks fast.
  • Bread. Traditionally, New Orleans French bread is used. You can also use hoagie rolls.
  • Lettuce. Use the bottom of Romaine or Iceberg lettuce for a nice crunch.
  • Creole Seasoning. Creole Seasoning tends to be salty. However, I recently found this No Salt Creole Seasoning that I like. You can always add a shake of salt if needed.
