Po' Boys

Shrimp Po' Boys

I always wondered why they call these sandwiches po' boys, it doesn't sound that enticing when you think about it (makes me think of a bologna sandwich or something).  When I looked it up it actually comes from a much longer French word for a tip you give a waiter; so I still don't completely understand it.  The sandwiches usually have a nice crispy bread with some sort of fried or batter shrimp or meat and they come from Louisiana.  This po' boy is delicious with the shrimp giving it a lighter feel and the tangy slaw topping.  By hollowing out most if the bread you cut back in the carbs too.  My only suggestion is that a nice aoli sauce or maybe Chipolte mayo might add some more depth to the flavors.

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
