How to Make Shrimp Remoulade Po Boys

  1. **Make the Remoulade Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup chopped celery, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Cover the remoulade sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. **Prepare the Shrimp:** Thread 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp onto 4 skewers.
  4. **Grill the Shrimp:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  5. **Prepare the Bread:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut four po' boy rolls in half lengthwise. Gently hollow out the bread, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell.
  6. **Bake the Bread (Optional):** Place the hollowed-out bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to lightly toast the bread.
  7. **Assemble the Po' Boys:** Place 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, 1/4 cup sliced tomato, and approximately 6 grilled shrimp in the bottom half of each bread roll.
  8. Top each sandwich with 1/4 cup of the chilled remoulade sauce.
  9. Cover with the top halves of the rolls and serve immediately. Enjoy!
