Ingredients

• Shrimp (peeled and deveined) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

• Remoulade sauce - 4 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
2. Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, if desired, for easier grilling.
5. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.
6. While the shrimp are grilling, slice the baguette in half lengthwise and toast it lightly on the grill until golden.
7. Once the shrimp are cooked, assemble the Po' Boy by placing the lettuce, grilled shrimp, tomato slices, and pickles inside the toasted baguette.
8. Drizzle the remoulade sauce over the top, close the sandwich, and serve immediately.
