Directions:
Put 1/4 of the box of Zatarain's in a gallon resealable plastic bag. Dip shrimp in the buttermilk, then shake them in the Zatarain mixture. Remove from the bag, shaking off any excess. Place shrimp on a cooling rack and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Pour the oil into a deep, wide pot to the depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°. Working in two batches, fry shrimp until golden brown about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain and sprinkle the shrimp with salt. Start building your sandwich with a slathering of Remoulade on the French bread. Then dress your sandwich with lettuce, tomato and pickles. Finally pile on the shrimp.

Without good bread, a Po' Boy is pretty po’.
