Hello,
For all that personally know me, I do not know how to navigate my way through a kitchen. Seriously, I don’t. The stove top scares me. Cooking… What?
But ask me to bake, and well, that’s easy peasy.
That’s why I decided to make: Baked Shrimp Po’boys with Sriracha Aioli! Tada!
Recipe adapted from here.
Ingredients:
3/4 lb. peeled deveined shrimp
1/2 cup skim milk
1 egg whites
1/4 cup panko
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tbsp. cajun seasoning
3/4 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (to taste)
salt and pepper to taste
4 tbsp. low fat mayonnaise
Sriracha (to taste)
3 whole wheat ciabatta, Panini or new Orleans French bread (approximately 6 inches long)
Lettuce
Tomato
Instructions:
01: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
02: Mix the milk with egg white in a large bowl. Add shrimp to milk mixture and let rest for five minutes. Meanwhile mix the cornmeal, flour and Old Bay seasoning together on a plate. Dredge the shrimp on both sides in the cornmeal mixture. Place shrimp on an aluminum cooking sheet sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Lightly spray the shrimp with olive oil spray.
03: Bake shrimp for five minutes, turn broiler to high and broil for one to two minutes till shrimp turn light brown and crunchy.
04: While shrimp are cooking, mix together mayonnaise, old bay seasoning and 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (for more heat, increase the cayenne pepper).
05: Cut bread in half and toast. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly amongst the three rolls or buns on both top and bottom pieces. Add shrimp, lettuce and two slices tomato.
