How to Make New Orleans Favorites like Shrimp Po' Boys and Chicken Sauce Piquant

[@davehn3753]

The batter on the shrimp is so delicious. I couldn’t stop eating them as I cooked. This is by far the best cooking show. 🙏

[@PatHaskell]

This show is sooo much better than the drama infused reality crap on TV where they don’t teach anything. This is very instructional, clear, concise and just the right amount of personality.

[@sassytbc7923]

And still quite entertaining

[@Niftynorm1]

The 'trick' of coring the head of lettuce is a very old restaurant trick. Some cooks have claimed it causes the edges to brown (people claim cutting it with a knife causes that too) but I have never seen it unless it is sitting around. It was funny when a young cook saw the salad lady do that to lettuce and he tried it with a head of cabbage - it doesn't work but he didn't learn that right away. LOL. Trick with tomatoes I learned from Jacques Pepin and Julia is right about putting shrimp in the deep fryer, I have seen many busy cooks burned that way - always use tongs. Great episode.

[@rawrisfordinosaur]

New Orleans born and raised and I really appreciated the authenticity of the po'boy and the telling of the history! Would've loved to have seen a Randazzo's vs. Haydel's for the King Cakes, need to settle an age old debate for my family

I like remoulade on crab cakes and I realize that many restos use it on Po' boys however I did a couple of Po' boy crawls during visits to New Orleans. None of the oldest shops use remoulade. They did mayo on the bread; ketchup and hot sauce on top of the shrimp and oysters.

[@JeremyStein1234]

This is correct, real po boys are Mayo and lettuce

Right, never heard of using remoulade for a Po boy.

So for those in new Orleans, where Mardi didn't start (it started in Mobile, Alabama) and thus dont know the traditions, the Mardi Gras season starts on January 6, or epiphany, and stretches till Mardi Gras day, or fat Tuesday, which is the day before ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is the season of feasting and festivities before the season of fast, lent. Lent last for 40 day up to Easter and then 50 days later is the feast of pentecost. And yes the baby in the king cake is to represent Jesus and the epiphany, because after the wise men came and told herod, mary and Joseph had to hide baby Jesus, thus it is hidden in the cake.

[@nola305]

The "baby" in the king cake DOES NOT represent (the baby) Jesus, many years ago in New Orleans, a bakery which baked king cakes used plastic trinkets for the tradition we're discussing here, ran out of them, so the salesman who supplied them with the trinkets had a supply of little plastic babies so that particular bakery used them as a substitute, THAT'S how the tradition was started! ⚜️⚜️⚜️

Remoulade is a classic. New Orleans made it their own and didn't try hard enough. A poboy though only has mayo, pickle, lettuce, tomato. Some use hot sauce because it's fried. Also, no need for standard breading procedure. Soak dry and cleaned product in good, thick buttermilk and then directly into cornflour seasoned. Fry. Never use giant shrimp or "prawn" The real key is small, white shrimp. 60-80 count. If we have to use 30-40 count, split lengthwise and doubles the number, right? Soak in buttermilk brine, toss in dry cornflour that's been seasoned. Maybe add 15% cornmeal to the breading but not authentic. I can talk about this all day long. Spend more time on the bread. No other area will ever have the french bread we have in LA. None. And the bread is the key. If we don't have the real poboy bread, we don't have a poboy.

[@semco72057]

I have never eaten shrimp po' Boys and have never eaten the other dish either, but have eaten some dishes served in Louisiana while stationed there in Bossier City.

Use a shrimp peeler. Removes shell and vein. We say “dressed” for a poorboy which means lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo. Hot sauce (Crystal brand) on the table. That bread roll. Ugh! Ain’t no poorboy. That’s a shrimp sandwich at best. We’d say it’s Yankee. King Cake: WOW! Where to begin? So much wrong. It IS about Epiphany it’s a King’s cake as in the 3 wisemen. Too much to correct. That was cringe worthy. Sauce Piquante: Not bad but honey we do eat alligator but not squirrel in New Orleans. Been watching True Blood box set? So glad you didn’t try to tackle Creole/Cajun cuz you’re going to mess that all up. This is why we never eat in a New Orleans-style restaurant when out-of-town. Just go visit and enjoy yourself.
