BBQ Shrimp Po'boy

These are super easy and super tasty. Shrimp po' boys, Memphis style. 

  • 1 lb of peeled/deveined shrimp with tails removed

  • 1 stick of unsalted butter

  • 1 jalapeno, sliced

  • 2 tbsp of your favorite BBQ rub

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  • Duke's Mayonnaise

  • 1 Cherokee Purple tomato

  • Green leaf lettuce

  • 3 baguettes  

Melt the stick of butter over medium high heat in a cast iron skillet. Saute the jalapenos in the butter for a few minutes. Add in the shrimp and season with the BBQ rub. Continue to cook for about 4 minutes. Slice the baguette in half and brush some of the butter from the shrimp on each side. Toast the bread over the grill. Build the po' boy with mayo, a few slices of tomato, some red onion, some lettuce and a pile of bbq'd shrimp.
