Shrimp Po' Boy

This twist on the Louisiana favorite piles grilled shrimp and creamy-dressed cabbage onto a crusty bun. Bread that’s soft on the inside and crusty on the outside is perfect for a Po’ Boy sandwich, the trick is to grill both sides of a whole-wheat bun for that added crunch. You may need a few extra napkins to enjoy it, but this quick and easy sandwich is well worth it.

Prep/Cook Time: 30 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
• 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
• 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
• 1 pound peeled and deveined raw shrimp (51-60 per pound)
• 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 4 whole-wheat hot dog buns or small sub rolls, split
• 4 tomato slices, halved
• ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion

Directions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
2. Combine cabbage, relish, mayonnaise and yogurt in a medium bowl.
3. Toss shrimp with 2 teaspoons oil, chili powder, paprika and pepper in a medium bowl. Place the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a small bowl. Dip a pastry brush in water, then in the oil and lightly brush the inside of each bun (or roll).
4. Place a grill basket on the grill. Add the shrimp and spread in a single layer. Grill, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Open the buns and grill, turning once, until toasted on both sides, about 1 minute total.
5. To assemble the sandwiches, divide tomato and onion among the buns. Spread about ⅓ cup cabbage mixture down the middle of each and top with about ½ cup grilled shrimp.
