Chicken Nugget Po Boy

It can be a dangerous thing when I’ve made up a big batch of Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce, recipe courtesy Chez John. I will put that stuff on anything and everything, including this super simple chicken nugget po boy. The great thing is I had a great lunch in no time at all. Nice and spicy, full of crunch, this is a great sandwich despite its simplicity.

It’s Ok To Use Frozen Nuggets

I opened up the freezer the other day and noticed a bag of chicken nuggets. I bought them with a coupon a while back. Normally I make my own, but the combination of a coupon and laziness got the best of me. I thought… boy, I need to use them up. I know! A po boy! And thus, the chicken nugget po boy was born… Nothing fancy, but mighty good!

Kaw-Cajun Comeback Sauce

I put Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce on just about anything. Po boys. Regular sandwiches (making them not just regular!). Wraps. Anything. Everything. I make a big squeeze bottle of this sauce and keep it on hand because it’s sooooo darned good and goes on darned near everything. I know I already said that but it’s true. It really does deserve to be used on everything.

Kaw-Cajun Comeback Sauce

One Winning Sauce

This recipe for Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce comes from Chez John from Fat Johnny’s Front Porch. Do not omit the grated onion and garlic – they really make this sauce a keeper. If you cannot find Cajun Power Sauces where you are you can order them online. Although you can substitute other sauces, this sauce is best made with Cajun Power. It’s also fantastic on chicken wings.

Refrigerator Cucumber Salad

We really enjoyed this refrigerator cucumber salad. It makes a good-sized batch and keeps in the fridge for up to 2 months. Fresh cucumbers, onions, and peppers from our local farmer’s market make it even better! This salad has an amazing fresh crunch to it. It screams summer. But it can also be made year-round as many of the ingredients are now available any time you want. The dressing or brine is of course a bit vinegary so you get some of that tartness. Sugar is added to mellow that out a bit and of course add some sweetness.

Refrigerator Cucumber Salad

The Perfect Salad

There are several variations of this recipe for refrigerator cucumber salad around. I like this one since it uses celery flake, which adds a really nice flavor. You could substitute fresh chopped dill instead.

I shave or peel my cucumbers first. Depending on how thick the skins are, I find them to be a little too hard. Removing that outer layer keeps them still freshly crunchy but without the hard exterior. I keep the seeds, though. Doing that is up to you!

No Heat Zone

The recipe calls for adding a bit of red pepper flake. It’ll add some heat to the brine. Which means you’re going to get a bit of a spicy hit with each after bite. I happen to love the heck out of that. But if you’re not into spicy foods, or you’re serving this to people that don’t, you can leave it out entirely and not miss a thing. In it’s place I’d add a few whole black peppercorns. You still want a pepper-like flavor in the brine.

I made the salad in wide-mouth quart-sized jars, but you could use smaller decorative jars and give this out as a great summer gift.

Roasted Shrimp Po Boy

Roasting shrimp is a great way to bring out their flavor. And it’s really easy, too. Roast them and make a roasted shrimp po boy and you’ve got something really great! I used Chez John’s Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce on my roasted shrimp po boy. You can also use your favorite remoulade, such as our spicy version. Of course, just a good ole mayonnaise works just fine too. Me, I prefer a spicy sauce on my po boys. And I do truly love po boys.

Roasted Shrimp Po Boy

Nothing Fancy. Just Deliciousness.

The star of the roasted shrimp po boy is of course the shrimp. So there’s no need to bury that great flavor with a lot of ingredients. This sandwich isn’t meant to be fancy. But it is ok if it’s a little messy. Sit down and enjoy, the shrimp are fantastic!
