Recipe by Cheryl Slocum A Louisiana favorite, the po-boy can be make with any number of ingredients, but the shrimp here are a light, sweet contrast to the hot sauce and crispy fried breading.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large cast-iron skillet, or heavy pot, fitted with a candy thermometer, heat oil to 325 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, whisk together egg, milk, 1 cup water, and mustards; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine flour and garlic salt. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

  2. Slice bread loaves lengthwise and place, crust down, on a large baking sheet. Transfer to oven, turn off heat, and warm bread until crispy.

  3. Meanwhile, working in batches, dip shrimp in egg batter, then dredge in flour mixture. Fry shrimp in heated oil, until they're cooked through and float to surface, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

  4. Spread bottom half of each warmed loaf with 1 tablespoon tartar sauce. Divide lettuce, tomatoes, and shrimp among sandwiches. Drizzle 1 tablespoon ketchup and a few dashes of hot sauce, if desired, over shrimp. Top with remaining bread halves.

Why this Fried-Shrimp Po'boys works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
