Shimp Po' Boy with Remoulade Sauce

I've never been to New Orleans, but shrimp po' boys are one of my favorite sandwiches. It's full of delicious ingredients and is just so easy to make. If you've never had one, you're missing out. It's covered in remoulade sauce, which is like spicy tartare sauce you can throw on crabcakes or any other fish.

I was out of panko breadcrumbs that day, so I ended up using saltine crackers. The saltines added a fantastic crunch to the shrimp and gave them an even better exterior. This isn't the best lunch sandwich since it is a little more effort than I want to go through at lunch time, but it does make a great dinner sandwich. Give it a shot next time.
