Delicious!!! I couldn't stop eating this! I used shallots instead of garlic and used fresh Italian bread instead of garlic bread and it was still finger-licking good. Made for PAC fall 08.

MADE FOR PAC SPRING 208This will make you stand up and cheer! This is a good meal for teens. And yes it is messy, finger licking good. I was a bit confused whether to use on both halves and serve separatly or put together and then cut. I served separately and I also used green onions.

Being that I'm from south Louisiana, I come from a long line of shrimp lovers. How 'bout you? Don't know? Wait, let me check your family data base. None! Never too late...I can just feel your family's excitement building!

Five stars, for sure! This is full of flavor, with a little bit of heat - an excellent po' boy! I cut this recipe in half for two people, and I baked a Pillsbury french bread loaf to use for the sandwich rolls. I cut the loaf into three portions, and just used two for the recipe. I dipped the open sides in the sauce, then stuffed with the shrimp. We will do this again!
