New Orleans Style Grilled Garlic Shrimp Po’Boys

New Orleans Po’Boys recipe! This post was sponsored by Better Than Bouillon as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Let’s take a walk down memory lane and add our own spin on a classic Nawlins sandwich. We’re making New Orleans style garlic grilled shrimp Po’ Boys with a simple ingredient, Better Than Bouillon.

Katie and I visited New Orleans a few years ago. We hit up a couple of restaurants, went on a swamp tour, visited the zoo and strolled the French Quarter at all hours of the day and night.

One thing I remember well was the shrimp Po’Boy sandwich I had for lunch one day. It’s something I’ve wanted to put my own spin on for a while now.

I don’t remember the name of the place where I got that sandwich, but it was on one of the foodie TV shows.

That’s where we learned about it, and how we ended up there to begin with.

Nevertheless, it was a killer sandwich, and when it’s awesome, I have to kick it up a notch and make my own version.

Don’t worry, this Shrimp Po’Boy recipe is EASY! Just like all my recipes, you’ll be able to make this in your own backyard. We’re not using 100 different ingredients.

We’ve found Better Than Bouillon products – which makes this recipe a cinch. It’s my secret ingredient that gives the recipe a punch of flavor!

Better Than Bouillon

Better Than Bouillon concentrated paste is used to boost the flavor of grilling recipes.

As an alternative to canned broths that expire before you get to use them and those cubes – ugh. They never dissolve completely and often leave a grittiness that just doesn’t work.

However, you can use Better Than Bouillon as a rub, sauce, or even marinade.

There are so many different ways to use it. For this recipe, we’re brushing it on our shrimp while they’re on the grill!

It’s true, classic New Orleans shrimp Po’Boys are fried shrimp. But heck, it’s summertime in New England and I’m firing up the BBQ for this tasty recipe.

Also when you flip the shrimp, add your rolls to the grill to toast.

Unless you live in the New Orleans area, you’re not likely to find their famous French bread. They’re crispy on the outside and oh-so-soft inside. However, toasting the top side of the rolls on your grill will give you a little crisp and get closer to that New Orleans style roll we’re looking for.

    Looks mouth watering to me! Will certainly check out Better Than Boullion line. And for those that do not fancy the bread, wrap in romaine leaves instead. Great recipe, thank you! 🌞
