SHRIMP PO'BOY
Many believe that brothers Benny and Clovis Martin created the first version of a po'boy as a free meal for striking New Orleans streetcar drivers in 1929. According to legend, the Martins would say "Here comes another poor boy!" when someone approached for a sandwich, which was half a French bread loaf stuffed with fillings like fried shrimp and oysters.

Steps:
- Make the shrimp: Whisk the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Stir together the milk and hot sauce in a large bowl; add the shrimp. Working in batches, remove the shrimp from the milk mixture, letting the excess drip off, and add to the bowl with the flour mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate 15 minutes to let the coating set.
- Meanwhile, make the rémoulade: Combine the mayonnaise, pickles, shallot and hot sauce in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- Fry the shrimp: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360˚ F. Working in batches, fry the shrimp until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the prepared baking sheet with a slotted spoon; season with salt. Adjust the heat as needed between batches.
- Meanwhile, put the rolls on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Spread the rémoulade on the cut sides and fill with lettuce, the shrimp and tomatoes. Serve with more hot sauce.

Steps:
- For the Smoked Onion Mayo: Soak hickory chips in water. While the chips are soaking toss the onions in 1 teaspoon salt and sugar. Then place the chips in a preheated grill or smoker and hard smoke for 30 minutes. Once onions are smoked, caramelize them over medium-low heat in a large pan with the oil until nice and dark golden brown. Puree caramelized onions with Worcestershire, hot sauce, coriander and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Then fold onion puree into mayonnaise. Taste for seasoning.
- For the Blackened Avocado: Place a cast-iron pan over high heat. Cut avocados in half and remove stone and then remove the peel. Coat avocado halves in Creole seasoning. Place oil in cast iron pan and then blacken avocados on both sides. Remove from pan, allow to cool slightly, and then dice into 1-inch pieces and lightly toss with vinegar, red onion and tomato.
- For the Po'Boy: Sprinkle the shrimp in Creole seasoning and grill on each side for 1 minute. Cooking time may vary depending on your heat. Divide the shrimp between the bread, add the mayo, avocado, tomato slices and lettuce.
