Shrimp Po' Boy Recipe

Hey all! Have had some requests for the shrimp po' boy recipe.  I've gone AWOL for a few days from the blog because we have been knee deep in moving. Also our Internet hasn't been hooked up @ the new digs! So here I am, lying in bed typing like a chicken on my I-phones key pad to make a post and get that recipe to y'all! And it is worth it believe me!

Shrimp Po' Boys

Ingredients:
~ 8Med-Lg American caught shrimp (per sandwich) deveined 
~ mixed baby lettuce greens
~ large local tomato (Brandywine) sliced thin 
~ 1 large sweet onion( pref. vidalia ) sliced then carmalized in 2 Tbsp butter
~ mayonnaise 
~ in a med size brown bag or paper grocer bag put 1 1/2 cup flour, 1 C italian bread crumbs
~ 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning (lemon old bay)
~ grated cheese blend of your choice
~ hoagie rolls 

Directions:

Have olive oil coated in bottom of cast iron pan, slice rolls and spread mayonaise on insides. Pre-heat oven to low Broil & have rack on second tier. Take deveined shrimp, rinsed & drained and throw into paper bag ingredients, roll up bag, shake around til well coated & shake off into a fry basket or grab individually out of bag.  Heat up oil in pan til hot and throw floured shrimp in the pan, should be sizzling. Shrimp cooks fast I'd say a minute or 2 each side. When you flip shrimp throw on the Cajun spices. When shrimp is crisp and flour browned toss around in seasoning & remove From pan to a paper towel.  Put green in mayonaised hoagie buns, then tomatoes ( sprinkle w/ sea salt & pepper), top w/ 8 shrimp, portion carmalized onion over shrimp, sprinkle with grated cheese. Then broil in oven quickly til cheese melts. I say quickly b/c you don't want lettuce to wilt. Slice in half & serve with a lemon wedge! Delish!
