Asian Shrimp Po Boy with Spicy Slaw
Asian roots with American inspiration, it’s kind of how I see my life these days. While I’m adopted from Korea, I strive to balance the Asian part of my heritage and the American upbringing I’ve had. It’s so important, especially now that I have two kids looking up to their mama for cultural direction.
Food is where I find balance. I’ve always had a deep love for Asian food, it’s my love language. When I get to combine the Asian flavors I love with my American taste buds, you know it’s going to be a party. This Asian Shrimp Po Boy with Spicy Slaw is where the party is at.
This zesty and crunchy slaw combined with traditional Asian sauces all in one amazing sandwich – it’s one of my favorite recipes to date. Check out my secret ingredients to this amazing dish from Lee Kum Kee, why I have 130,000 reasons why you need to grab a hoagie roll PRONTO.
Inspiration Starts with Authentic Ingredients
Authenticity.
I strive to be authentic not only in my words, but also in my taste buds. Asian food just doesn’t taste right without authentic ingredients. That’s why I use authentic Lee Kum Kee sauces for my Asian fusion cooking. For over 130 years, this Asian sauce brand uses only quality ingredients for the most authentic Asian infused flavors.
So whether you’re adding a few teaspoons of Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce made with 100% fresh oyster extract,
or dipping in more modern flavors like their Sriracha Mayo on top of your sandwiches, Lee Kum Kee provides my family with a variety of tasty Asian sauce blends for our Asian fusion dishes.
Asian Shrimp Po Boy with Spicy Slaw Recipe
And this Asian Shrimp Po Boy with Spicy Slaw is to die for. I’ve always been a huge sandwich fan. So when you combine all of the Asian infused flavors of the shrimp marinade to the spicy slaw and then topped with sriracha mayo? The flavor combo is DIVINE.
My secret ingredient is the spicy Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chili Oil – making this slaw the star of this recipe. Chiu Chow Chili Oil is an authentic regional chili sauce originating from Chiu Chow, China. It’s prepared from the finest chilies and garlic then blended with soy bean oil into a delightful spicy sauce. This sauce is perfect for spicing up any dish and also great for amplifying dressings, marinades and stir-fries.
Ingredients:
Spicy Slaw
- 1/4 cup Seasoned Rice Vinegar
- 2 TBSP Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1/2 TBSP Sesame Oil
- 2 TBSP Lee Kum Kee Chui Chow Chili Oil
- 2 tsp Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 tsp Garlic, minced
- 2 TBSP Sesame Seeds, toasted
- 2 Green Onions, minced
- 1 1/2 Cups of Broccoli Slaw
- 1 1/2 Cups Red Cabbage, thinly chopped
Hoisin Marinated Grilled Shrimp
- 3 TBSP Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce
- 2 tsp Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce
- 1 TBSP minced garlic
- 16 fresh shrimp; unpeeled, butterflied and deveined
Po Boy
- 4 Hoagie Rolls
- Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo
Directions:
- We’re going to need time for the spicy slaw marinade to infuse, so let’s tackle that first. Combine your rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Lee Kum Kee Chui Chow Chili Oil (be sure to give it a good stir first to grab those chili flakes at the bottom!), fresh lime juice, and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk well and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours (I let it sit overnight).
- Meanwhile, mix together the grilled shrimp marinade ingredients (Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce and garlic) in a small bowl. Pour into a resealable bag (reserving about 2 teaspoons for grilling). Add shrimp and mix until coated. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
- When the shrimp is marinated, fire up the grill. Place shrimp on skewers and grill for about 5-7 minutes per side on low/medium heat until fully cooked, basting in extra marinade for the last 1-2 minutes.
- Mix broccoli slaw, red cabbage, green onions and toasted sesame seeds in large bowl. Pour over slaw marinade and gently toss until coated.
- Fill hoagie roll with slaw. Place grilled shrimp over the slaw. Top with Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo, combining traditional flavors of Sriracha with the cool and creamy texture of mayo.
- Serve immediately. Makes 4 Asian Shrimp Po Boy sandwiches.
