Po'Boys for a Po' Economy: Quick and Delicious Meal from me to you

What a day!  When I got home about an hour ago there was only one thing on my mind -- FOOD!  Lately I've been satisfying my hunger by fixing a very simple, but very fulfilling (and very delectable) meal.  Ladies and gents I'd like to introduce to you my version of the shrimp po'boy.  This meal is very easy to make and very economical.  In less than an hour your taste buds will thank you when you sink your teeth into this healthy vegetarian-friendly entree.  Here's how to make it:


You'll need (find these at your local grocery store):

• Cobblestone Mill Whole Wheat Rolls
• Smart Balance Light Extra Virgin Olive Oil Buttery Spread
• 31-40 ct peeled & deveined thawed shrimp (let someone else do the dirty work)
• Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning
• Muenster Cheese slices (I buy store brand cheese)
• Cole Slaw (store brand blue cheese slaw tastes great!)
• Birds Eye Pepper Stir-Fry (1/2 cup)
• Paprika
• Hellman's Light Mayonaise
• Canola Oil
• Worcestershire sauce

Hardware:

• Double sided-Griddle
• Medium Frying Pan
• Bread knife
• Small/Medium sized bowl

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and place griddle (grill grated side up) inside oven.
2. While oven is heating, place your frying pan on your stove top, and warm the eye by using med-low heat.
3. Use a small amount of canola oil (just enough to coat the pan.
4. Add two teaspoons of buttery spread to pan, and allow butter to melt.
5. Add thawed shrimp to frying pan, and sprinkle shrimp lightly with creole seasoning and Worcestershire sauce and cover (let shrimp cook for 5 mins max or until opaque in color).
6. While shrimp are cooking, slice open whole wheat roll, and spread buttery spread on either side.
7. Place whole wheat roll, open side down on griddle grates for 3-5 minutes (you'll get those lovely grill lines on your bread -- sweet!).
8. Remove shrimp (and the yummy broth) from heat, and place inside bowl. Set aside.
9. Flip roll in oven over, and add one slice of cheese to roll (fold cheese in half and tear; add cheese slices to one side of the roll long wise).
10. Re-coat bottom of frying pan, and add peppers to frying pan.  Cook until brown, and remove from heat (5-7 mins).  
11. Remove roll from oven.  Add slaw to non-cheese side, and place peppers on top of cheese.
12. Add about 8 shrimp on top of cheese and peppers.  On the slaw side, squeeze (or spread if you have the non-squeeze mayo) a small amount of mayo on top of slaw.
13. Add a dash of paprika to either side of sandwich.

EAT!!!

The end result is an explosion of savory flavors in your mouth that you will not soon forget.  Place your left over shrimp in a tupperware dish so you can warm them up in your microwave and prepare another sandwich when your stomach is rumbling.
