Spicy garlic butter shrimp and jalapeños piled high into a sub roll make for an excellent napkin-worthy sandwich.
I couldn’t pick a more perfect day to post this recipe. We are leaving today to head back to The Big Easy! It’s cheer competition time once again. I LOVE going to New Orleans! It is a place like no other. This trip hopefully will be able to include a little more French Quarter shopping than last time. We compete Saturday morning and Sunday morning….early…hello time change…how nice of you to come this weekend!
I’m hoping to take the kids to see the cathedral too and attend mass. It is so gorgeous in there!
Last time was the first time for us to take kids to NOLA. My daughter likes to be Miss Independent at times. We all decided to take a little walk down to eat at the French Market. I tried to get her to hold my hand because walking along busy streets kind of makes us mommies nervous. She didn’t want to and said she was just fine walking on her own. That is….until we had the first random person come up to us trying to get us to buy something. From that point on, she stayed very close and held my hand. Yes my dear…mommy knows what she’s talking about!
So one of my favorite things about New Orleans is the food, of course. It just makes sense. New Orleans=Great Food
Well this little Garlic Shrimp Scampi Poboy is something that totally represents our food culture down here. It’s filled with the spicy flavors we all love down here. It’s also one of those messy sandwiches. Apparently I’m liking messy sandwiches this week.
Have no fear, I’ll be back next week to sweeten things up around here and tell you all about our trip. I’ll also post some pics on Instagram too!
*I buy frozen pre-peeled shrimp (150 count). If you can't find these you can use a medium size shrimp.

Haha, at least she tried to be independent! We know how that is with our daughter, too!
Oh my this sandwich looks so good Jaren! How fun to go on a trip to New Orleans! I’ve always wanted to see that town and all the culture they have. I think it must be an amazing place. And yes, mommies do know what they are doing-when will kids learn that?! lol Hugs, Brenda
Hey Brenda!! Yes NOLA is full of culture! Thanks for visiting!
Totally jealous. I’ve always wanted to go to New Orleans! This Poboy will definitely make me feel like I’m there anyway 🙂
Totally Ashley!
We eat shrimp at least once a week, I am always looking for new recipes to add to our menu!
You’ve got to try these for your next shrimp night Annie! Thanks!
This sounds awesome! Would love to get my hands on an authentic Poboy, and this recipe is great!
Thanks Patricia!
Totally digging the jalapenos on this, Jaren – sounds amazing!
The jalapenos bring it to another level! Thanks Melanie!
Love this healthier and garlic spin on the po boy! I have always had an infatuation with po boys but I don’t think I have ever had one! Looks like I need to change that pronto!
Yes, you must change that Meg!
This is such a great way to have shrimp poboys, Jaren! I bet it’s even better than the fried version!
I love a good Fried Shrimp Poboy, but I really think these are equally as good! Thanks Andi!
I have never been to New Orleans – I am dying to go! Until then though, I can make your sandwich for a little taste of the big easy – this looks great!
Thanks Cate!
Looks really good and something my shrimp loving daughter would like! One question though, how much garlic do you use? Thanks.
Hi Kathy!! I updated the recipe. I accidentally left off the garlic!! Thanks so much for stopping by!
