Excellent fry mix recipe! I didn't actually make the sandwich, but I used the fry mix to fry some shrimp. The only change I made was adding adobo and smoked paprika to the fry mix, and mixing the eggs with buttermilk instead of water. I also did not use the hot sauce because I didn't have anymore. The shrimp came out light, crispy, and delicious.

Made this recipe exactly as it is posted (we took the tails off the shrimp though and my oh my these were wonderful. My boyfriend requested shrimp po'boys for his birthday dinner and Paula's recipe was the one I used. We had the entire family over & they all loved it. The breading once deep fried is really crunch and light, not heavy. As soon as they came out of the fyer I sprinkled them with a little salt & Old Bay and mmm mm mmm they were good. Will definitely be using this recipe the next time we make them.
