Fry the Green Tomatoes
Fry the Shrimp
Assemble the Po'boys
Substitute the shrimp with shucked oysters or thin catfish fillets for a different classic po'boy experience. Adjust frying time accordingly.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the flour and cornmeal mixture and increase the hot sauce in the remoulade to your liking.
For a lighter alternative, arrange the breaded shrimp and tomatoes on a baking sheet, spray generously with cooking oil, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Shrimp is a fantastic source of lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, making enzymes and hormones, and supporting muscle mass.
Shrimp provides a significant amount of selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage and plays a crucial role in thyroid health and immune function.
The green tomatoes and fresh lemon juice in the remoulade contribute Vitamin C, an important antioxidant for immune system support and skin health.
This dish is a delicious indulgence rather than a health food. It is high in calories, fat, and sodium due to the deep-frying method and rich remoulade sauce. It can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet on special occasions.
A single Fried Green Tomato Shrimp Po'boy can contain approximately 800-1100 calories, depending on the size of the bread, the amount of oil absorbed, and the quantity of remoulade sauce used.
The ideal bread is a New Orleans-style French baguette, which has a crackly, crisp crust and a very light, airy interior. If you can't find that, a standard French baguette is the next best choice.
Yes! The remoulade sauce is actually better when made at least a few hours or even a day ahead. However, the shrimp and green tomatoes must be fried just before serving to ensure they are hot and crispy.
Green tomatoes are simply regular tomatoes that have not yet ripened. They are firm, tart, and less juicy than ripe red tomatoes, which makes them perfect for frying as they hold their shape well.
