Variations & Tips
- For a lighter variation, grill the shrimp instead of frying them. Marinate them beforehand in a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of the spice blend.
- If buttermilk is not available, make your own by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Experiment with the bread; traditional po' boys use French bread with a crisp crust and soft interior, but Italian or ciabatta rolls can also make a decent substitute.
- Add additional layers of flavor by incorporating finely chopped green onions or fresh parsley into the mayonnaise.
- And here's a tip: to keep the breading from getting soggy, let the fried shrimp drain properly and assemble the sandwiches just before serving.
