Inspired by a recent trip to New Orleans (Nawlins, NOLA, etc.), I wanted to share a bit of my love for cajun with you in the form of these Blackened Shrimp Po’ Boys. Fear not the bread baking process–it won’t take long and it’s easier than it seems.

Instructions
Hoagie Rolls
- Add water, honey, and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add flour, salt, and yeast (taking care not to let the salt touch the yeast). Fit mixer with dough hook, and mix on low speed until a dough ball forms and cleans the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a clean surface and divide into 4 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a short, fat log and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375. Bake rolls at 375 for 12-14 minutes or until rolls are lightly browned (they will not be very dark at all) and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.
Shrimp
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Toss shrimp and remaining shrimp ingredients, then add to hot oil. Cook 2-3 minutes per side or until shrimp are opaque. Set aside.
Remoulade
- Add all remoulade ingredients except pickles to a blender. Blend until smooth. Fold in pickles.
Po' Boys
- Slice hoagie rolls in half lengthwise. Add 1 lettuce leaf, 1 slice tomato, 1/4 the shrimp, and about 2 tablespoons remoulade to each roll. (Or more or less remoulade, to taste.)
Notes
We used Organicville Ketchup for testing purposes, which is sweetened with agave instead of sugar. We used The Wizards brand worcestershire sauce for testing purposes. We used Sammy's Park Street Dills for testing purposes.
