Shrimp Po Boy

This Southern favorite originated in Louisiana in the late 1920s. Workers who were on strike against a streetcar company and they were given free fried shrimp sandwiches by a local restaurant. The restaurant employees nicknamed the strikers “poor boys” and so the name “Po Boy” caught on. Traditionally, this po boys recipe is a classic sub sandwich served on a soft baguette roll.

“Oh. My. Goodness!! This was awesome! The sauce is so so good! Quick and easy to make anytime….. it’s a recipe that is outside of the usual quick dinner meals….I will definitely be making this more often…..it will become a regular dinner meal!”

Cajun Shrimp Foil Packets

We make Cajun Shrimp foil packets all the time for dinner in the summer! When the temps start reaching triple-digits, I will do anything I can to keep the heat out of my kitchen. The whole family loves them and there is no mess. Not only are they convenient, but they are filled with shrimp, andouille sausage, corn, potatoes, and lots of Cajun flavor!

“This is by far one of the easiest most delicious recipes I have ever made. My husband and I can’t get enough of it! I use our homemade smoked ring sausage that we make every year and have found that we like it best with that. Probably because it has a heavier smoke.”
