Ingredients

4 Tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound shrimp, medium to large, uncooked, peeled and deveined
Island Sunrise, to taste
4 French-style hoagie rolls or French bread, (Bratwurst buns or work great too)
shredded cabbage or lettuce

  • For the Creamy Cajun Sauce (optional):
    1 cup mayonnaise, Best Foods or Hellmann’s
    ⅔ cup ketchup
    3 Tablespoons horseradish sauce
    1 Tablespoon lemon juice
    ½ to 1 Tablespoon Island Sunrise, depending on how spicy you like it
    ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Cook the Shrimp
    Heat a large skillet to medium heat, add butter and garlic. When the butter is hot and melted, add shrimp. Sprinkle Island Sunrise over the shrimp. It can be a little spicy so only sprinkle it to your personal taste. When the shrimp is pink all the way through, remove it from heat. Do not overcook.

  2. Build the Po’ Boys
    Split the rolls open and divide the shrimp evenly between each roll. Top with Creamy Cajun Sauce or mayonnaise and shredded cabbage, to taste.

  3. Make the Creamy Cajun Sauce
    How to make creamy Cajun sauce: Combine sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl until smooth.

Pro Tip

If you go low carb and turn this into a salad - I do not recommend using the garlic butter with Island Sunrise as a salad dressing. Unless you like everything really, really hot. 😂
