Shrimp Po'boy Tortillas (by Biggs)

Tonight, I WON AT LIFE! It's not often that happens so when it does, you're going to hear about it.

I had this idea that a Shrimp Po'boy is probably a delicious thing and anything served on a bread roll can probably be served on a tortilla. Everyone should take note of this tasty, tasty shrimp recipe. The spice blend was incredibly delicious and made dinner pretty special.

The shrimp was coated in a dry rub of salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper and onion powder. I like that we have a spice draw with a cornucopia of options to satisfy such needs. We even had some fresh, dried oregano recently supplied by the delightful Fiona!

The batter was butter milk and a mix of plain flour and cornmeal. It took me ages to crumb the shrimp and ages to fry the shrimp which meant dinner was served quite late in the end. But, definitely worth the wait. It was served with lettuce, pickles, mayonnaise and chili sauce - a winning combination.

There were a handful of shrimp I had burnt in the frying process which I'd put aside on the cutting board to throw out later but, when G discovered them he decided we should eat them instead.....even burnt these shrimp were pretty great.

Po boy! These were good. Particularly the shrimp. Just a plate of those with a side of more shrimp would suit me.
