10 Minute Dinner with a Lot of Flavor – Popcorn Shrimp Po Boys with Remoulade Coleslaw!
If you follow along here regularly, SeaPak® Popcorn Shrimp makes more than one appearance in recipes. As a big shrimp fan, especially breaded shrimp, I love the easy prep, quick cook time and delicious flavor!
Making dinner in 10 minutes is always a win-win in this household, especially since I somehow forget every day that dinner time is going to arrive. However, this time when Bryan got home and asked what was for dinner, I had a quick, easy and fun idea I could whip up in no time – Popcorn Shrimp Po Boys.
The first time I ever had a Po Boy was when we went to New Orleans with my in-laws a few Decembers ago. My MIL went to college in New Orleans and wanted to be able to show us around. We sat on this little table that was open to the outdoors so we could soak in the beautiful weather (a needed break from cold Chicago weather), we sipped a cold glass of wine, and ate a tasty New Orleans’ classic.
So what makes a Po Boy a Po Boy? From what I read in preparation for this post, this is a contested debate. Everyone seems to agree that you want french bread as a your base that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, so lightly toasting the sandwich bread is a must.
The usual consensus for toppings stays within the range of pickles, hot sauce, lettuce, mayo, and tomatoes. I wanted to be inspired by the sandwich we enjoyed that beautiful day but also offer a twist that I thought my husband would enjoy – which meant no pickles or tomatoes.
I made a basic Remoulade Sauce which pairs so well with seafood and provides a nice kick to the SeaPak® Popcorn Shrimp! The combination of ingredients might scare a couple people away but I promise you that this Remoulade Sauce is not overpowering or overly hot. That’s just not my cup of tea.
It does add a lot of flavor to the Popcorn Shrimp Po Boys though that you don’t want to miss and includes the hot sauce and mayo required for a traditional Po Boy. I tossed my sauce with some coleslaw, my “lettuce” addition to the sandwich recipe.
Enjoy this easy spin on a New Orleans Classic – Popcorn Shrimp Po Boys with Remoulade Coleslaw!

- 1 box SeaPak® Popcorn Shrimp, cooked to directions

Toss some of the sauce with your 8 oz of coleslaw. Start with less and add more to your desired level of slaw coverage.

Add cooked popcorn shrimp and then slaw to bread. Top with a little more sauce if desired and enjoy!
Round off this easy, flavorful meal with a glass of Black Box Sauvignon Blanc, which, of course, should only be served to those 21 years of age and older and enjoyed responsibly. Black Box Wines Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing, dry white wine with stone fruit aromas that was 100% fermented in stainless steel. It pairs perfectly with seafood dishes and made a great partner with this Popcorn Shrimp Po Boy sandwich.
Black Box Wines is the winner of 50 Gold Medals and 29 Wine Enthusiast Best Buys. The best part though besides the great flavor? A Black Box Wines box holds the equivalent of four 750ml bottles and stays fresh for up to 6 weeks! SIX weeks! The bag and box are also recyclable and significantly reduce waste compared to traditional glass bottles. Win-Win-Win!
