Shrimp Po' Boy

If you have followed my blog for awhile, you know I like to serve a sandwich for dinner once a week.  This week's sandwich was a tasty Shrimp Poor Boy or Po' Boy as they are often called.  I always go "light" on the hot spices while cooking and give my family and friends the option to add more punch to the food on their plate if they so desire.  With that said, the amount of chili powder I used was just right for my taste.  It allowed the flavor of the butter, shrimp, red cabbage, etc. to come through and not be overpowered by HOT.  You'll decide how hot you want to make your shrimp.

Several hours before dinner, mix  2 Tablespoons of dill pickle relish with 2 Tablespoons of mayonnaise and 2 Tablespoons of plain yogurt.  Add the mixture to 2 cups of raw shredded red cabbage. Salt and pepper to taste.  Set this in the refrigerator to cool.

Several minutes before dinner (really that's how little effort this sandwich takes) clean 1 pound of raw shrimp and saute them for approximately 3 minutes in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

Slice some red tomatoes and red onions and assemble the sandwich on a sliced sweet French Crusty Baguette.  You can toast the baguette if you like.  I know a lot of folks like to use Hoggie Rolls but I find they have way too much bread and calories (340) verses about 100 calories in a good serving size of the baguette.  I hope you enjoy this easy recipe it makes four sandwiches.
