Shrimp Po' Boy with Cumin Mayo

When my sister suggested this recipe to me a few years ago, my first thought was "ewww, who puts shrimp on a sandwich?"

Then I tried it. It is now my favorite way to eat shrimp (and I usually do not care for any kind of seafood).


1 lb. peeled, deveined shrimp, tails removed

1 c. buttermilk

1/2 c. flour

1 T. cajun seasoning + 1 t.

1 c. mayo

1 T. cumin

1 minced garlic clove

splash of milk

splash fresh lemon juice

vegetable oil

1 loaf french bread, cut almost through

lettuce and tomato if desired

Marinate shrimp in buttermilk and 1 T. cajun seasoning. While shrimp is marinating, mix mayo, cumin, garlic, milk and lemon juice. Set aside.

Drain shrimp well. Mix flour and 1 t. cajun seasoning. Toss shrimp with flour mixture and let sit in fridge for about 15 minutes.

Heat oil in large frypan until hot. Fry shrimp until golden brown and drain on paper towel.

Spread cumin mayo on bread, top with shrimp and lettuce and tomato if using.


Serve with your favorite side: french fries, chips, etc.

~Big Al's~ Subs

 I was inspired by this article from my sister Rob, who explains who Big Al is and what he has meant to legions of hungry people in a small town: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977272353&nav=Namespace What makes Big Al's subs better than any others that I have tried are the buns. He uses the same dough recipe as he does for the pizza. This is what I have tried to recreate here. I also made the sub sauce, which is near world famous. I don't think anyone who orders a sub from Big Al's does not also get a side of the sauce. (Well, other than me, but Matt likes it, so of course I had to make it). This is my version of the Big Al's Special complete with sub sauce. Homemade Sub Buns (recipe follows) Capicola Genoa Salami Provolone Cheese Lettuce, tomato and onion Pepperoncini (optional. They aren't authentic to an Al's) Al's Sub Sauce (recipe follows) Homemade Sub Buns I use this pizza dough recipe, which I really like:...
