Recipe: Shrimp Po Boy

09 November 2026

The story of the Shrimp Po Boy begins in the lively French Quarter of Louisiana at the end of the 19th century. Shrimp catches were plentiful, which made shrimp incredibly cheap. Farmers and dockworkers put the shrimp on sandwiches, and that is how the name Po Boy came about, derived from ‘poor boy’. Some 40 years later, the sandwich was fine-tuned in the streets of New Orleans as a tribute to the abundant shrimp catches. Creole and Cajun cuisine came together, creating a true culinary sensation.

A flavourful classic with a delicious crunch!

See the step-by-step preparation below:

1. Grill the roll: Grill the Hotdog Roll for a crispy and flavourful base.

2. Prepare the shrimp: Prepare the shrimp according to your own recipe and sprinkle them generously with Seafood Seasoning for an extra layer of flavour.

3. Build the sandwich: Slice the roll open and place a layer of lettuce and tomato on the bottom half, followed by the warm fried shrimp.

4. Finish: Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp and top with a generous amount of Burger Sauce for the finishing touch.

5. Ready to go: Place the top half of the roll on top and serve immediately!
