Thursday: Air Fryer Shrimp Po’ Boy Sandwiches
The New Orleans po’ boy sandwich is usually made with roasted meats or fried seafood, as in this recipe. To make things simple on a busy weeknight, rather than cook the breaded shrimp in the deep fryer, opt for the air fryer instead. Then place them in a brioche hot dog bun with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise made with dill pickle juice and capers. Perfectly crispy and delicious!
