Don't use thick bread. It can be ruined if 70% of the sandwich eating is bread. I don't make my own. But the place I go uses baby shrimp.

What did those shrimp do to you? Show me where they hurt you.


I don’t time them - several minutes was a guess. I just look at color. Believe me, I don’t overcook them. No one has ever complained about my fried shrimp.

im sure it’s fine and would come out good disguised under some bread, mayo, lettuce, and tomato… But why? That sounds like it would come out crunchy and bland cooked at 375. Just buttermilk OR cold water if you have to, and then dredge it in seasoned flour ONCE. (Preferably seasoned cornflour). Fried shrimp really isnt rocket science when deep frying.


Well, they are crunchy. You don’t want crunchy coating? It is seasoned flour - not bland.

Recipe is basically From Mike Anderson’s cookbook, except I don’t think he seasons his flour. They turn out great. I don’t really care for corn flour on shrimp.

You are correct, temp is probably 350-375, but oil temp drops when you put them in - I don’t have a huge pot, so I get some temp drop.

First shrimp po'boy I ever had was somewhere around TicFaw LA. Thought it would be nasty but really surprised how good they are.

wasnt expecting this to be such a hot take
by the way, all of you are insane

seafood poboy = buttered bread
meat/cheese poboy = mayo

this is not up for debate





Agree 1000%


I didn’t understand all the downvotes.


Must be a bunch of Yankees on this thread.

I eat my shrimp Poboy same as yours.



My oyster poboy is buttered bread, pickles, lemon, hot sauce (Crystal) and leftover cocktail sauce from the raw oysters appetizer.


Not dressed. I only dress the shrimp poboy.

Proper NO poboy bread is somewhat thick, but very airy. It's hard to replicate a good one with anything else.

tartar sauce


Tartar sauce does not belong on a shrimp po'boy or any seafood po'boy.

What do people squeeze on fried seafood? Lemon
Fish and chips? Vinegar

Two ingredients in a good Mayo? Lemon and vinegar

Acidity tart sweet

and Mayo and pickles on a po boy is like a degree away from tartar sauce

A lot of Mayo is bad. You gotta spread it lightly
