Shrimp po'boy..epic

We had made fried chicken recently and still haven't thrown out the shortening.
Lunch was a mystery. I was craving crunchy and spicy.

Then this happened...

💥Here's what you need:💥
Large bun
6pc fried shrimp
Onion strings
Seasoned Buttermilk (s&p, garlic, srirracha, oregano, ginger)
Flour
Lettuce
Lime wedge
Sliced tomato
PC Avocado mayo
Sirracha
Lettuce
Drizzle of agave nectar or honey

🍴While preheating the skillet of shortening:
🔹Soak shrimp & thinly sliced onions in buttermilk & seasonings for about 15mins.
🔹Toss them in seasoned flour
🔹Fry in 350• oil for 3-5 mins (or until you hear the sound change)
🔹Let cooked shrimp and onionss drain on a paper towel & season with s&p before they cool too much.
🔹Toast a bun and load it up with all your garnishes

PORK BUNS!

the stuff dreams are made of!

these beauties are no good for you, in any shape or form (other than maybe the veggies you use for garnish)
but they're some of  the most delish things ever invented by

the true master of this so far is Momofuku in NYC. We had the chance to go there in Sept and it was a life altering experience.

The bun is sweet and moist while the pork is salty and crunchy. The texture is a fulfilling fix of decadence and guilty satisfaction.

You might think I'm crazy.

I assure you I'm not...well, not completely.
I just enjoy new adventures in flavour country.
This afternoon I made lime pork dumplings for a dinner party this weekend. I had about a 1/3 cup if filling left. its really not enough to do much with. Of course i did what any canadian would do.....Poutine!

I wondered: What kind of gravy for such an exotic mix of meat and Herbs.
Then it occurred to me: what do you serve with dumplings?
Peanut sauce...bingo!
Add St. Albert's mild cheddar and you've got the newest poutine sensation... Omg you won't regret it. So good.
