Directions

Compound Butter

Gather all ingredients in a food processor or mixer.
Pulse or whip the ingredients until a homogenous mixture is achieved.
Place in a tightly-closed container and refrigerate until needed. Mixture can be used cold or allowed to warm to room temperature before using.

Asian Slaw

Toss everything together thoroughly in a large mixing bowl.
Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Po-Boy

In a cold, large sauté pan, add compound butter and shrimp at the same time.
Place over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and slowly poach the shrimp so they soak up the seasonings. Mix until the shrimp are fully cooked, about 8 minutes.
Divide the shrimp and butter mixture evenly across the bottoms of each section of bread.
Divide the Asian Slaw mixture and the herbs evenly among the sandwiches.
Add top halves of bread to sandwiches and serve.
