Chef Marvin Matherne has made over a million shrimp po-boys at Guy’s Po-Boys in New Orleans, and today he joins Bon Appétit to show you how to make this iconic sandwich. From Gulf shrimp and corn flour batter to one-day French bread and the traditional “dress” of lettuce, tomato, pickle, and Blue Plate mayo, this is how an authentic New Orleans po-boy sandwich is really made.

  1. I went to a c-school in Biloxi Mississippi for ten days. First day there I had my first ever shrimp po boy…and ate them breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the rest of my time there.

  2. If we could only swap out those tomatoes for something more American, like bacon.

  3. This is great. I love to cook and I do some Cajun things now like gumbo but not tried these yet. One of my favorite trips ever was to NOLA. I was dating a native, so I got to see the real city, not just the touristy stuff. Thank you Chef.
