Cheddar Bacon Shrimp Po Boys

Submitted by ElizabethKnicely

"I know. I know. I really need to be careful messing with a good thing. But when it comes to food, I think a good 'messing' can lead to great meals! (This being one!) Po Boys are traditional Louisiana sandwiches, usually with roast beef or some kind of fried seafood. My version of fried seafood for this sandwich is...raw shrimp dipped in Kraft Fresh Take, then oven fried. (You could use precooked shrimp, but I chose the raw shrimp with tails because it was the cheapest option...tails are easy to twist off!) No oily mess, simple dipping. Easy peasy. The traditional sauce for Po Boys is remoulade, but since I didn't have any on hand or all of the ingredients necessary to make one from scratch, I just mixed together equal parts of mayo and Dijon mustard. Again, keeping it simple and easy. We absolutely adored the cheddar-bacon flavors in this sandwich."
