Cajun Mushroom Po’ Boy
with chips / pickles
There is something about a Po’ Boy that makes it feel like beach vacation food, and this one is close to the original - with seared mushrooms instead of the classic shrimp. Whether at the beach or around your kitchen table, this version with Cajun spice and creamy sauce is sure to please. We think it’s best served simply with pickles and chips on the side.
