Shrimp Po' Boys

with Tomato & Southwest Slaw

Recipe Development TeamUpdated on September 17, 2025

These po’ boys star fried shrimp coated in a light, crispy tempura batter kicked up with a Southwest seasoning blend. A creamy, tangy slaw makes for a crunchy topping with juicy tomatoes and a creamy sauce reminiscent of remoulade. Stuff everything into toasty baguettes along with a squeeze of lime. Serve the rest of the crispy shrimp and slaw on the side and let the good times roll!

Instructions

Prep
1

• Wash and dry produce. • Quarter lime. Thinly slice tomato into rounds.

Heat Oil & Mix Slaw
2

• Heat a 1⁄3-inch layer of oil in a large, heavy- bottomed pan over medium-high heat. TIP: If your oil heats up too quickly, simply lower the temperature until you’re ready to fry the shrimp in Step 4. • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, half the dressing, juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Set aside until ready to serve.

Coat Shrimp
3

• Rinse shrimp under cold water; pat very dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. • In a second medium bowl, combine tempura batter mix, Southwest Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Whisk in 1⁄3 cup water (2⁄3 cup for 4 servings). TIP: If mixture seems too thick, add more water 1 TBSP at a time until it reaches a pancake-batter-like consistency. • Add shrimp to bowl with batter; stir until evenly coated.

Fry Shrimp
4

• Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, working in batches, add coated shrimp in a single layer. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2-3 minutes on the first side and 1-2 minutes on the second side. • Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Prep Baguettes
5

• Meanwhile, slice baguettes in half lengthwise; use a spoon to carefully hollow out baguettes. TIP: Save insides of baguettes for another use, like homemade breadcrumbs. • Toast baguettes.

Assemble & Serve
6

• Spread tops of baguettes with remaining dressing. • Evenly fill bottoms of baguettes with half the slaw, as many shrimp as will fit, and tomato. Close to form po’ boys. • Serve shrimp po’ boys with remaining slaw, any remaining shrimp, and remaining lime wedges on the side.

Shellfish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
