Our favorite Southern foods come together in this recipe to create the perfect spicy, flavorful sandwich: a Nashville Hot Shrimp Po’ Boy.
A day when you should eat whatever you want? Now there’s a vacation I can leave behind!
This year went by so quickly that I almost couldn’t believe that Mardi Gras was almost here.
I always do something inspired by ‘Nola, but this year I came dangerously close to being forgotten.
Last year I made a festive King Cake Ice Cream.
This year I’m bringing my love of all things Nashville Hot into the mix with this Nashville Hot Shrimp Po’ Boy.
There’s nothing wrong with a little fusion of Nashville and NOLA, in my opinion!

Shrimp Po Boy is one of my all-time favorite Southern foods. If someone had told me how hard it was to find a decent Po Boy in Los Angeles I probably never would have moved here.
Luckily, they’re pretty simple to make. I use a small one Fryer
I LOVE the kick the Nashville spice glaze gives the shrimp. If you need to cool it down a bit, add a little tartar sauce, or my favorite, kewpie mayonnaise
Looking for more new shrimp recipes to try? How about fried bang bang shrimp with creamy, spicy sauce? Or maybe you prefer something lighter, like homemade hibachi shrimp.

Instructions
-
Take two bowls. In a bowl, mix together the milk, eggs and hot sauce. In the other bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
-
Heat oil in deep fryer or cast iron skillet to 325 degrees F.
-
Take each prawn and dip it in the flour, then dip it in the milk/egg mixture and again in the flour. Shake off excess between each step.
-
Fry the shrimp in batches (I could fit 4-5 at a time in my small fryer), for about 4 minutes. Move to a wire rack.
-
To make the Nashville Hot frosting, heat the butter until melted (I just use the microwave). Add the cayenne pepper, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
-
Brush each side of the fried shrimp.
-
To assemble the Po Boy, fill the French roll with lettuce and sliced tomato. Top with hot Nashville shrimp and sliced pickles. If you prefer, add tartar sauce.
