Shrimp Po'boy Sandwiches - Cooking Light



Was the week to try something new and these were a hit!  Den said he would have these again ANY day!

Remoulade Slaw:
3 T mayonnaise
1 T minced shallots (I just used white onion)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp prepared horseradish
1/4 tsp Tabasco
1/4 tsp grated lemon rind
1 garlic clover, minced
2 1/2 C packaged cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw

Po'boys:
1 T cornstarch
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 large egg white
1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 pieces French bread baguette, split and toasted
3 T cornmeal
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
8 slices tomato

1.  To prepare coleslaw, combined first 9 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.  Add coleslaw; toss to coat.  Cover and chill.

2.  To prepare Po'boys, combine cornstarch and next 4 ingredients (through egg white) in a medium bowl; whisk until blended.  Add shrimp; toss well.  Marinate in fridge 30 minutes, stirring once.

3.  Hollow out top and bottom halves of bread, leaving a 1/4 thick shell.  Place torn bread in a food processor; process until very fine crumbs.  Set aside 1/2 breadcrumbs; reserve remaining bread crumbs for another use.  Combine 1/2 breadcrumbs, cornmeal, and black pepper in a large zip lock bag; seal and shake to combine.

4.  Remove shrimp from bowl; discard marinade.  Add shrimp to breadcrumb mixture.  Seal and shake to coat.

5.  Heat large skillet over med-high heat.  Add oil to pan; swirl to coat.  Add shrimp; cook 3 minutes on each side until done.  Do not overcook!!

6.  Arrange 1/2 cup coleslaw on each bottom half of bread.  Top with shrimp and tomato slices.

Garlic Lovers Shrimp


Too many vampires at your Halloween party?  Keep them at bay with this little morsel.  Another family Halloween favorite.

12 to 15 cloves garlic, cracked away from skins  (well, you wanted to keep the vampires away right?)
2 T olive oil
2 T butter, cute in small pieces
1/2 to 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds, (apprx 30 pieces) shrimp, peeled and deveined.
1 tsp coarse salt
Black pepper

Process garlic in food processor to finely chop (or I just use the minced garlic from Costco).  Heat large skillet over medium high heat.  Add oil and butter.  Add garlic and crushed pepper flakes to oil and butter.  Season shrimp with salt and pepper and toss to coat.  Add shrimp to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until pink heads curl to tails.  (DO NOT cook too long or the shrimp will be rubbery and the garlic will burn!)  Add black pepper to taste.  Serve immediately.

Goes great with the Steak Bites with Bloody Mary Dipping Sauce (see under "Beef").
