Shrimp Po'Boy and Caesar-ish Salad


Have I mentioned my unbridled love for po'boys? Yet I feel like I need to caveat that. I love them... but only certain ones. Heavy, thickly-breaded, deep-fried shrimp? No thanks. More sauce than shrimp? I'll pass. But crusty fresh bread with some flavorful sauce, luscious shrimp, and crispy vegetables? Yes, please! My all-time favorite sandwich shop, Woodrows, has an amazing po'boy and I used to indulge in it regularly. Unfortunately, a few years ago we moved away and a po'boy sized hole in my life opened up. I'm now happy to say that while it may not be a Woodrows sandwich, I've found a way to satisfy my craving in a relatively healthy manner. Best of all, it comes together quickly. So get moving and enjoy your own version at home right now!

And one more quick suggestion... I tend to pair my po'boys with a crispy "caesar-ish" salad. I've already purchased the romaine for the sandwich and it provides a perfect, light complement that will leave you satisfied but not overly stuffed.

Time: 1 hr 15 min (mostly marinating time)
