Instructions

  • Prepare all ingredients as described above: peel and devein the shrimp, shred the lettuce, slice the tomato and jalapeño, and mince the garlic and shallot.
  • In a bowl, season the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and toss with extra-virgin olive oil until evenly coated.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, Creole mustard, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, minced shallot, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice to make the remoulade.
  • Grill the shrimp for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Cook shrimp to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Lightly toast the baguette halves on the grill until golden and crisp.
  • Assemble each po' boy by layering the inside of the baguette with shredded romaine lettuce, tomato slices, jalapeño slices (if using), and grilled shrimp. Drizzle generously with remoulade sauce.
  • For the sparkling chia fresca, combine all the ingredients. Let sit for 5 minutes for the chia to bloom.
  • Serve the grilled shrimp po' boys with carrot sticks and hummus and chia fresca. Enjoy!
