Cajun Shrimp Po' Boys

It's Fat Tuesday, meaning that Mardi Gras is in full swing! My mind started dreaming of creole, King Cakes, colorful beads, parades, and cocktails on Bourbon street. Although, I will not be there to partake in the craziness that is Mardi Gras, I was in the mood to make something full of bold Cajun flavor and packed with a little heat. I'm usually not one who goes for spicy food since I used to consider medium salsa my breaking point, but having broadened my horizons since living with the hot sauce king (my husband), I have come to appreciate a bold and spicy dish every now and then. The flavors in this dish are just that - spicy, robust and full of flavor! The spicy remoulade sauce has just enough mayonnaise base that it cuts the heat perfectly!
