Delicious popcorn shrimp served on a slider bun with lettuce, tomato and a spicy sauce make these Shrimp Po’ Boy Sandwiches a quick and easy weeknight recipe!
My husband is a huge lover of seafood. I have to admit, I am not. I like my occasional tuna sandwich, fish taco or fish sticks but I really don’t branch out from there.
Give me a big old bag of popcorn shrimp though…that thing will be gone in like 2.3884 seconds flat! No doubt on that one! I know, I know….but what about fresh seafood? Trust me, I’m getting there. For now, I’m satisfied with these utterly delicious Shrimp Po’ Boy Sandwiches.
Po’ Boy’s are a southern thing. My mom used to live in Mississippi and she was the one who first came to show me what a Po’ Boy was. Popeye’s was second. Now whenever I see Po’ Boy on a menu I must have it. Chicken, Shrimp, doesn’t matter…it goes in my mouth.
You’d never believe how easy these things are to make. And you all know me, I love easy recipes. 4 kids mouths to feed…man easy is the best word around.
These can easily be made with fresh breaded shrimp if you’d like that, but I’m going with the good old frozen bag this time. What makes these sandwiches though, is the sauce! We always keep this sauce on hand at home in a bottle because it goes well with pretty much anything from burgers to fries to chicken.
Sauce is boss my friends! So if you are short for time, want a meal that can pretty much feed a crowd, is easy and down right tasty these Po’ Boys are for you!

I swear this is the same sauce that our local fish and lobster puts on their shrimp tacos. I asked what it was and they were vague about it but now when I think about it. This is a “in the rough” out on the marsh road kind of place. All the HAVE is mustard, mayo and ketchup in the place. This was a clever use of the mayo and ketchup to make a sauce for what is essentially a shrimp Po Boy in a flour tortilla with some shredded cabbage (which they also have in house to make their cole slaw).

These look great! I haven’t made shrimp po-boys in a long time. Will have to add it back into the menu rotation. Thanks for linking up with Funtastic Friday.

Thanks Victoria. Po Boys are always good to have on rotation.

Shrimp are one of the few forms of seafood I enjoy too. I definitely have to try these. They look absolutely delicious, Alli!
