Grilled Shrimp Po’Boy Sandwiches make the best lunch or easy weeknight dinner! Made with seasoned grilled shrimp and a delicious homemade remoulade sauce.

The first thing I ate when I landed in New Orleans was *drum roll please* a shrimp po’boy sandwich! I enjoyed it so much that as soon as I got home I immediately uploaded a youtube recipe video.

This grilled shrimp po’boy sandwich is super easy to make and it’s packed with flavor. I saved the leftover remoulade sauce for the next time I make another sandwich.

I can’t get over how good these sandwiches were. I would make these and wrap them in aluminum foil and serve them with an ice-cold beer. For some reason sandwiches in aluminum foil always look yummier plus it keeps it warm.

Why this grilled shrimp po’boy recipe is so good

  • This sandwich has tons of flavor from the remoulade sauce and the shrimp marinade.
  • The bread is super crisp and fresh and absolute perfection when topped off with grilled shrimp and lettuce and tomatoes.
  • The texture is perfection. You get freshness from the lettuce and tomato but also tons of flavor from the sauce and bread.

How to make a grilled shrimp po’boy sandwich:

  1. The first thing you want to do is prepare the remoulade sauce. To make the remoulade sauce, place all of the remoulade sauce ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. Season the shrimp with granulated garlic, paprika, chili powder, granulated onion, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side or until they turn pink.
  3. While the shrimp cooks, toast the bread and then spread about 1-2 tbsp of remoulade sauce on the bread.
  4. Top the bread with the cooked shrimp, lettuce, and tomato.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Although, I highly recommend cooking the shrimp and assembling the sandwiches the day of you may definitely make the remoulade sauce ahead of time. The remoulade sauce should last you 1-2 weeks refrigerated in an airtight container.
