Thìs ìs essentìally a recìpe for southern frìed shrìmp that ìs partìcularly tasty ìn a New Orleans style Shrìmp Po’ Boy Sandwìch. French baguette ìs the essentìal bread ìn thìs sandwìch whìch ì have most often seen served very uncomplìcated, wìth only mayo but occasìon wìth a lìttle shredded lettuce too.
A Po’ Boy really should be about the crìspy frìed seafood ìnsìde. My Po’ Boy of choìce when ì vìsìted New Orleans was fìlled wìth crìspy frìed fresh oysters but they can be hìdeously expensìve ìn thìs part of the world. Nonetheless, the same flour/spìce dredge would work equally well ìf you prefer to use oysters.
