Shrimp Po'-Boys


The Wheel of Meals landed on Seafood

I saw this recipe in a Cooking Light magazine, and used it because we had some frozen shrimp in the freezer that we needed to use up.  Plus, it looked like a fun summer sandwich.   I liked it better than Jeremy but that's because he's not a coleslaw fan.

Ingredients:
for Rémoulade Slaw:
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon horseradish
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 garlic clove, minced
2&1/2 cups packaged cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw

for Sandwich:
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 pieces French Bread baguette, split and toasted
3 tablespoons stone-ground cornmeal

To prepare rémoulade slaw, combine first 9 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.  Add coleslaw; toss to coat.  Cover and chill.

To prepare Po'boys, combine cornstarch and next 4 ingredients (through egg white) in a medium bowl; whisk until blended.  Add shrimp and toss well.  Marinate in fridge for 30 minutes, stirring once.

Hollow out the bread halves, leaving a 1/4" thick shell.  Place torn bread into food processor and process until fine crumbs form.  Set aside 1/2 cup breadcrumbs; reserve remaining breadcrumbs for another use.   Combine the 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, cornmeal, and black pepper in a large resealable plastic bag.  Shake to combine.

Remove shrimp from bowl; discard marinade.  Add shrimp to the breadcrumb mixture.  Seal and shake to coat.   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add shrimp; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done.

Arrange 1/2 cup slaw on each bottom half of bread.  Top with shrimp and tomato slices.  Cover with top half.
