Eats So Sweet

I normally wouldn’t do back to back recipes (shrimp/shrimp)…..but this deserved to be posted RIGHT NOW.   We don’t eat shrimp back to back either!

So last week my best friend and I had one of our girl’s night dinners….just her and I!  We try to do it a few times a month because even though we talk on the phone multiple times a day…(normal, right?) when dodgeball isn’t in season we don’t see each other often enough!   Thankfully dodgeball starts again next week and I get to see her once a week for the next few months…..YAY!!!    Anyway……enough about her…let’s move on…..

We decided on a local restaurant that we’ve been to before, but really like the atmosphere!  For the locals…Urban Table in Morristown…..PLUGGIN IT!  It’s great food, great atmosphere, and the prices aren’t crazy!   We had already decided on what we were getting…..cheesesteak spring rolls and a grilled chicken chopped salad to share……ooooor so we thought!!!    The waiter came over and read the specials and he barely uttered the entire list when Nil (BFFs name) and I looked over at each other and just knew…..HE IS HOT!!!!  Nooo,.just kidding……..MEAL CHANGE!  We were forgoing the salad….natch….and ordering up the Blackened Shrimp Po Boy with the Cheesesteak Spring Rolls!   We deserved it after a 12 day plank challenge we had just about finished anyway!

The second our meal arrived…..and we laid eyes on the Po Boy……we just knew!  And (Po) Boy,  were we right!  It was one of the most delicious things I had eaten in a long time!  I was really upset we decided to share…I wanted it all to myself!!!    Especially knowing I couldn’t just go back another day for it….because it was a special!

Po Gianna!

The combo of blackened shrimp and the pretzel bread….YUM…add in some pickles and lettuce and tomato….YUMMMMMMY!

So I decide I would be making my own very soon…and here I am less than a week later…recreating this sandwich.  And I get the whole thing to myself!!!!!!   Love ya, Nil….but mine…all mine!  🙂    Super easy, Super delicious!!!  MUST.  TRY.  SOON!!!

Blackened Shrimp Po Boys on Pretzel Rolls

4 Sandwiches

Shrimp — cleaned, peeled & deveined — I made enough for each sandwich to have 6-7 medium shrimp

Blackened Redfish Magic Seasoning (or any similar seasoning)

1/2 Stick of Butter

Pretzel Rolls (you can use any rolls…but I promise if you can find these..DO IT!)

Shredded Lettuce

Sliced Pickles

Sliced Tomato

Light Mayo

*******************************************************************

Clean peel & devein shrimp.

Place in large ziplock with enough seasoning to coat all shrimp.

Place in fridge for about 30 minutes – 1 hour.

Shred lettuce, slice pickles, slice tomato, prepare rolls (just scoop some of the inside of the roll out to make a nice hole).

Melt butter in large skillet.

Place shrimp in single layer and cook about 4 minutes, flip and cook another 3-4 minutes.  Remove from heat.

Prepare your sandwich…….

Mayo on roll, shredded lettuce, tomato and pickles on one side…..mayo and shrimp on the other.

Bring both sides together and ENJOY..I know you will!!!!!
