Po Boy Tacos.. how does that sound?! There is something about a fried shrimp po boy that screams summer to me. I’d usually enjoy one by the beach, but since beach trips are limited these days, I thought I’d come up with something fun to make at home. Why not turn a po boy into a taco?! I made a slaw with pickles and a dressing similar to a remoulade you usually find on a po boy as a base for the crispy shrimp. Then I topped the taco with roma tomatoes. I honestly think I prefer this to a thick sandwich that’s so hard to eat!
