Shrimp Po' Boy
A Shrimp Po' Boy is a popular sandwich originating from New Orleans, Louisiana. It typically consists of fried shrimp served on a crusty French bread roll, often dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, and a spicy mayonnaise or remoulade sauce. The sandwich is known for its crispy texture and flavorful ingredients.
The term "Po' Boy" is believed to have originated during the Great Depression, referring to a sandwich served to striking streetcar workers. Over time, it has become a staple of Cajun and Creole cuisine, with variations that may include other seafood or meats, but the shrimp version remains a classic favorite.
