Had some shrimp thawing out yesterday and thought.........Po Boys! But, didn't want to hassle with batter and frying. Did a quick search and went with the first recipe I came to. It's a Paula Deen recipe that I altered. Here's her basic and the changes I made:
Ingredients
Place shrimp in a food processor and pulse until finely minced.(I just diced the shrimp for better texture) Transfer shrimp to a bowl and add eggs, celery, and mayonnaise; mix well. Add seasonings, to taste, and stir to combine. Spread additional mayonnaise on both sides of bread. Heap shrimp salad onto bread and then cut sandwiches in half. Serve with lettuce and tomato, if desired.
(I tossed it into the freezer for about 15 minutes to cool)
DAYYUUMM GOOD!!! Had to fight the wife in order to take the leftovers for lunch! I let her win.:thumb:
