Shrimp Po’ Boy Burgers: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe You Must Try


  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup cornmeal
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Vegetable oil, for frying
– 4 hamburger buns
– Shredded lettuce
– Tomato slices
– Pickles
– Remoulade sauce (or your favorite zesty sauce)


Instructions

Creating your own Shrimp Po’ Boy Burgers is simple! Just follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, soak the shrimp in buttermilk for at least 10 minutes. This will tenderize the shrimp and enhance the flavor.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. This mixture will create the crispy coating.

3. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

4. Coat the Shrimp: Remove shrimp from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge shrimp in the flour mixture, coating each piece evenly. Shake off any excess.

5. Fry the Shrimp: Carefully place coated shrimp in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid crowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove shrimp from the oil, placing them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

7. Assemble the Burgers: Toast the hamburger buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, layer shredded lettuce, tomato slices, fried shrimp, pickles, and drizzle with remoulade sauce.

8. Top and Serve: Add the top half of the bun. Serve immediately while everything is hot and crispy.

These straightforward steps ensure that your Shrimp Po’ Boy Burgers are not only easy to make, but also incredibly delicious!
