Quick, easy and delicous. The perfect meal for a Lenten Friday meal or anytime for that matter. Will definitely make again.
Was looking for a receipe for shrimp po boy and when I searched saw Mrs. Ray’s. Fantastic! Cruchy and succulent shrimp. My three year old grandchild enjoyed it as it was not over the top spicy. Paired it with mushroom fried using the same technique. Thankyou.
I substituted the cornmeal for Panko and it was so amazing!!! I also made my own ranch sauce to drizzle over the top. I paired it with some broiled red potatoes. It was great and hubby loved it. Job done.
i was only cooking for myself (and future lunches) so I scaled down the recipe a bit, and used a french loaf from Pillsbury i had in my fridge. I also didn’t have any cool seasonings like the seafood, or Cajun, so i used a Jamaican jerk. (i’m not too big on super spicy foods anyway). May not be Rachel Ray’s way, but boy howdy it is delicious! i had too keep reminding myself that the shrimp was for the sandwich! will definitely make this when the husband comes back!
This recipe was delicious! I just wanted to say that I love when people give recipes poor reviews when they didn’t bother to follow the recipe to begin with. I see this all the time and it’s very annoying. Blame yourself for your poor results!
My 11 year old daughter put this recipe together – it was absolutely delicious. We used a loaf of french bread, cut in half length wise and filled it like a sub-sandwich.
We also made dipping sauce for on the side – my son like to dip his sandwiches. The sauce we made for this was italian dressing, teriaki marinade, and honey dijon mustard – my daughter made it to her taste. A fun recipe to make!

I was leary about cooking shrimps for 5-6 mins. But this recipe the sauce and everything was great. This was my first time trying this usually buy the sandwich, but know that I know that I can make it at home for cheap I will be doing it more often!!! Family also enjoyed it. On to the next recipe 🙂
I made this as a quick lunch item, and it was quite good and very easy to make. I used Emeril’s Essence rather than Old Bay- slighty sacreligious; it was delicious! I think that brings the flavor up a notch. I used fresh breadcrumbs and the breading was absolutely perfect. I’ll definitely make this for the family.
If your looking for a good poboy this is it!
The shrimp needed more breading. I used cornmeal and not bread crumbs and it didn’t stick very well when we fried it.
