Shrimp Salad Poboy
Southerners are blessed to have abundant seafood from nearby waters, and many wonderful dishes are the result (see our Shrimp and Grits recipe, for example). In this recipe, shrimp salad is served on French bread in the style of poboy sandwiches, “dressed” with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and dill pickle.
