Five stars, for sure! This is full of flavor, with a little bit of heat - an excellent po' boy! I cut this recipe in half for two people, and I baked a Pillsbury french bread loaf to use for the sandwich rolls. I cut the loaf into three portions, and just used two for the recipe. I dipped the open sides in the sauce, then stuffed with the shrimp. We will do this again!
