Easy Cajun Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich
This is the easy way to make a shrimp poboy sandwich. The shrimp are pan seared (you can also grill them if you prefer), so it also is a bit healthier than making it with fried shrimp.
I love a good Cajun poboy, but using fried shrimp or fish is more work or calories. I found that pan frying the shrimp and blackening them tastes better and is healthier!
I like to serve this a a spicy remoulade, but you can also substitute plain mayo for an even quicker and easier shrimp poboy.
