Italian Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich Recipe!

disclosure-for-site

June 5, 2014 Carlee at Fun Learning Life 20 Comments

Out of a desire to use what I had on hand, and to put off going to the grocery store for a couple more days, I have been getting creative with meals this week.

Italian Shrimp Po' Boy Sandwich! An Easy Recipe With Alternative Ingredients! Dish

One of the dishes I put together is an Italian Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich.  I choose this name only because I wanted to make a Po’ Boy Sandwich and I ended up raiding the fridge and garden for items to top it off with.

Po' Boy Sandwich! An Easy Recipe With Alternative Ingredients! 6

I know this is traditionally served on a hard bread like a baguette, but it just so happens that I had left over hot dog buns in the freezer from Memorial Day.

In addition, I had a package of SeaPak Popcorn Shrimp that I had bought  Buy One Get One FREE at Publix, so there was no need to add any seasonings.

Po' Boy Sandwich

To recreate this dish you will need:

18 oz Box of Frozen Popcorn Shrimp

An Eight Count Pack of Hot Dog Buns

Marinara Sauce or Spaghetti Sauce

Chopped Green Onion (I used 2 long leaves of it)

Shredded Mozzarella

Italian Shrimp Po Boy

To get started making this recipe, I preheated the oven and put some marinara in a pot to warm up. Once the oven was ready, I placed the shrimp and cooked it according to the directions on the box. When there was about 5 minutes left on the time, I put the defrosted buns into a pan and warmed them up in the oven.

Tip: You will want to put the buns in the oven to dry them out a bit.  That way they will hold up to the marinara.

After the shrimp was cooked, I turned off the oven and added 5-8 pieces in each bun. Next, I added a little green onion on top.

Then I topped these off with some marinara, and then shredded cheese.

I placed the buns back into the warm oven, and kept them in until the cheese melted.

Once it was ready, I served immediately and paired it with a Parmesan Broccoli Recipe.

This dish was that easy to put together and as a frugal mom, I was glad to use what I already had on hand. It was also a filling meal and my family loved it. My husband said it looked like it came right out of a restaurant.

I can’t wait for those shrimp to go on sale again.

    As delicious as your recipe looks, it makes me so sad! I hate being allergic to shrimp, because I would totally devour these poboys if I could!!

    Ok, yum! This looks so good and I will be making these sometime over the summer. Shrimp is a something we have often, but I haven't made a po boy like this before.
