The Tennessee Titans, with many plant-based players, is in the AFC championship this weekend. Here’s one of the recipes for food they love.
Charity Morgan’s Shrimp Po-Boys
Yield: 4 sandwiches
1 pkg vegan shrimp (or vegan chicken)
½ head romaine lettuce, shredded thin
1 tomato sliced into thin rings
1 cup oil for frying
4 hoagie or sausage buns
¾ cup remoulade sauce (scroll down for recipe) or vegan mayo
Flour Dredge
1 cup flour
1 cup corn meal
1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp thyme (dried)
1 tsp smoked paprika
Liquid Mixture
2 cups almond milk (unsweetened)
¼ Egg ReplacerTM
1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
2 Tbsp hot sauce
Mix dredge ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
Mix all ingredients of the liquid mixture in a separate large bowl. Add the vegan shrimp in the liquid mixture. Let them soak briefly, then take one at a time out and toss in flour dredge. (dredge huge batches and freeze them for future use.)
Preheat oil in frying pan. After all shrimp have been dredged, place them into the hot oil; cook and stir until crispy about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.
Assemble Po-Boys:
Put remoulade sauce (sample recipe below) on each inner side of bun. Add shredded romaine and then 2-3 slices of tomato. Place about 6-8 pieces of vegan shrimp on top. Optional: splash a couple dashes of hot sauce on the shrimp. Enjoy.
