REMOULADE SAUCE
PO' BOYS
Directions
REMOULADE SAUCE
Place all sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Chill until ready to use.
PO' BOYS
- Coat oysters in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dredge oysters through the egg batter. Allow excess batter to drip back into bowl. Return oysters to flour mixture and toss to coat. Repeat the process with remaining oysters.
- Heat oil a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 375°F. Gently add the oysters into the hot oil, being careful to not overcrowd. You will have to cook the oysters in batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown.
- Remove the oysters to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Season with salt while hot.
- To assemble the po boys, spread inside of buns with remoulade sauce, top with lettuce, tomato and oysters. Serve immediately.
