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