- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper

For the Vegan Remoulade:
- ½ cup Vegenaise (or Greek yogurt/smashed avocado as substitutes)
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp chopped onion
- 1 tbsp fresh horseradish
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

For the Coleslaw:
- 1-2 cups pre-shredded coleslaw mix
- A bit of olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Additional:
- 2 croissants, cut in half
Instructions
-
Marinate the Shrimp: Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add shrimp and let marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
-
Prepare the Vegan Remoulade: Mix all remoulade ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
-
Grill the Croissants: Preheat your Arteflame grill to a medium heat. Place croissant halves on the grill and toast for about 3 minutes each side. Remove and set aside.
-
Cook the Shrimp: Place marinated shrimp on the grill's flat top cooking surface. For raw shrimp, cook 3-4 minutes on each side. For pre-cooked shrimp, cook 1-2 minutes on each side.
-
Char the Coleslaw: Toss the coleslaw mix with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on the outer flat top cooking surface of the grill and char for 2-4 minutes.
-
Assemble the Sandwich: On a toasted croissant, layer the charred coleslaw mix, cooked shrimp, and top with a generous amount of vegan remoulade sauce. Add any optional ingredients like lettuce or tomatoes if desired.
Tips
- For extra flavor, allow the shrimp to marinate overnight.
- Use fresh shrimp for the best taste and texture.
- Substitute croissants with French bread for a more traditional Po’ Boy.
Variations
- Use grilled chicken instead of shrimp for a different twist.
- Make it spicier by adding extra hot sauce or chili flakes.
