Incredible po' boy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wouldn't you know that Paula would have an awesome recipe for po' boys! Jenny~ Not sure why you'd ding the recipe just... because it calls for hoagie rolls.. Not every place in the U.S. sells the exact french bread made in New Orleans... So when not in NOLO, you substitute; whether it's "hoagies, sub bread, french bread, grinder bread" or whatever you can locate locally that has a slight crunch on the outside and is soft on the inside. Way to go Paula... Is it any wonder we love you so much? :o)Read more

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for dinner tonight sans the oysters and they were great. I used a combination of panko crumbs, flour, little... bit of hush puppy mix, house seasoning. Dipped the shrimp in mixture made of 1 egg, hot sauce & ff milk then dredged in the flour mixture. Made my own tarter sauce with pickle relish and light Miracle Whip. Toasted the Hoagie rolls and was going to take a picture but we ate them too quick! Yum!!!Read more

Po'Boys are all about the bread
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I love how people fry some seafood, throw it on a submarine roll and call it a Po'Boy. I usually love Paula's recipes, but... this one is a nice shrimp and oyster sub sandwich. But I'm rating the recipe according to the title. Yes it is a delicious sandwich, but Po Boy it is not. What makes the Po'Boy is the bread. Get New Orleans style French Bread. It's nice and crusty on the outside, but soft on the inside. I'm not going to comment on the tartar sauce addition. heheRead more

MADE ME A "PO GIRL" BELIEVER
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Paula, this is to die for. I had to jump up and go shopping for the ingred. 5 stores didn't have oysters so I went to our... fancy oyster bar restaurant and pd $1.95 ea for 5 lg Bluepoint oysters. ( This is only a po boy sandwich if you live in seafood country, hahahha) My 22 yr old son who will never eat seafood said " That was really GOOD Mom, I said "but I thought you hated seafood " and he said " Not the way YOU make it."Read more
