I first went vegetarian when I was 17, and vegan about ten years later. Since I haven't eaten any animal flesh in my adult life, there are a lot of popular foods I have never tried. The po' boy sandwich is one of those foods. I have no idea how close to authentic my version is, but I imagine it's pretty far from. But hey- fried stuff on a bun. You can never go wrong with that!
I used these faux shrimp and also a few of these faux chicken nuggets. I lightly battered them in some flour spiked with Old Bay seasoning, salt and paprika. I fried those suckers and served them on a warm French roll with Vegenaise, lettuce and tomato. This tasted really good, but I bet it would have been better with a thicker batter on the shrimp. I purposely avoided that because deep fried things do not go well with my current pregnant state. Heartburn city, I'm telling you.

The shrimp looks almost real! I have never had a real shrimp in my life so I would not be able to compare the real thing and this faux version, but from the looks I would not know the difference.
Wow, that po' boy looks tenhundred percent authentic *and* delicious! I love it! Happy MoFo!
Looks great!
That fake shrimp looks so real it's amazing! I've never had a po'boy, but it does sound enticing
