The Peacemaker Golden Fried Oyster And Shrimp Po Boy With Hot Sauce Infused Mayonnaise Lettuce And Tomato Recipes

FAMOUS NEW ORLEANS PEACEMAKER PO BOY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400* F.
• No matter where you live, most French bread is very thick, and for this sandwich you want to taste more ingredients than bread. Slice the bread in half longways to make a top and a bottom. Pull out some of the soft center of the bread on both halves, but don't remove too much. Brush the inside of each half with the melted butter. Lightly toast the bread in the oven, and while you're waiting spread any remaining butter on the bread that you pulled out of the loaf and stuff your face. Smile and enjoy!
• On the bottom half of the toasted bread, spread it liberally with Creole Tartar Sauce. Generously layer the fried oysters, and squeeze a lemon wedge over the oysters and a few drops of hot sauce if desired.
• Place the cheese slices across the oysters. Now add the bacon on top of the cheese. At this point if you want the cheese melted put just the bottom half into the oven for about a minute or two just to reheat the oysters and bacon. Set bottom half aside.
• On the top half of the toasted bread, spread it liberally with Cajun Cocktail Sauce. Layer dill slices on top of the cocktail sauce, then add the shredded lettuce and finally top the lettuce with sliced tomatoes.
• Place both halves side by side and quickly flip the top half onto the bottom halve. Cut sandwich on a diagonal. C'est ci bon!

SHRIMP AND OYSTER PO' BOYS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, soak the oysters and shrimp in a mixture of buttermilk and hot sauce for 20 to 30 minutes. In a shallow dish, whisk, together the cornmeal, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne.
• In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
• Drain the oysters and shrimp and toss them in the seasoned cornmeal. Working in batches, fry the oysters and shrimp until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt, to taste.
• Split the rolls and smear with Creole mayonnaise. Line with plenty of shredded lettuce and tomato slices. Top with fried oysters and shrimp. Cut each roll into 2 to 3 pieces. Serve with hot sauce and a wedge of lemon.
• Combine all the ingredients well in a large mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

SHRIMP AND OYSTER PO'BOYS

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk and 2 tablespoons hot sauce in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and oysters and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the rémoulade: Combine the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, lemon juice, remaining 2 teaspoons hot sauce, the paprika and garlic powder in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Fill a heavy-bottomed pot with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350˚ F. Combine the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow baking dish. Remove the shrimp and oysters from the buttermilk one at a time and add to the flour mixture, rolling to fully coat; remove to a plate. Working in 3 batches, add the shrimp and oysters to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes; return the oil to 350˚ F between batches. Remove to a rack set on a baking sheet. Season lightly with salt.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Spread about 2 tablespoons rémoulade inside the rolls, then add some tomato slices and a handful of shredded lettuce to each. Add the fried shrimp and oysters, then drizzle with more rémoulade. Serve with the lemon wedges.
