Shrimp Po Boys with Cherry Pepper Aioli
This recipe for Shrimp Po Boys with Cherry Pepper Aioli is soooo easy thanks to using frozen popcorn shrimp!
You could certainly bread and fry your own, but I needed a simple weeknight meal.
How to make Shrimp Po Boys with Cherry Pepper Aioli
While the shrimp were cooking in the air fryer (or in the oven according to the package directions) I made a cherry pepper sauce in my food processor.
Cottage cheese or mayo, garlic, a few cherry peppers plus some of the brine from the jar, lemon juice, kosher salt, and pepper.
Just blend until smooth.
The popcorn shrimp were golden brown and crisp, so it was time to assemble the sandwiches!
I had mini sub buns that I toasted and then added some of the cherry pepper aioli to the bottom bun.
Then piled on the shrimp.
More of the cherry pepper aioli, of course.
And I only added lettuce to mine, but some sliced cherry peppers would have been awesome.
Shrimp Po Boys with Cherry Pepper Aioli sure look like a restaurant quality sandwich to me, no one would guess how easy they were to make!
Serve these with plenty of napkins, they are messy in the best way.
And if you have leftover sauce, store in the fridge to use on more sandwiches or as a dip for pita chips.
