How do you order your shrimp poboy?
I order mine: dressed, add ketchup and hot sauce. I've been in a debate with a fellow New Orleanian for years over whether or not this is acceptable. He says real New Orleanians don't put ketchup on their shrimp poboys. I say he's confused.
I know I didn't come up with this on my own; it's the way I've always ordered it. I apparently saw it being done like this at a very young age--by who, I don't remember--and have been ordering it this way ever since.
What do you say?
Where are you from Star? That doesn't sound like a poboy.
Dang. Axiama just made it 1 to 1.
Quick answer for Bren:
Danny & Clyde's right now regular shrimp poboy is $2.99.
Parkway by Bayou St. John is always a winner.
If you find yourself on the North Shore, Bear's is awesome.
Those are my immediate choices. Some others: Parasol's, Crabby Jack's, Frankie & Johnny's.
Btb, special thanks to the "top contributor" who saw fit to answer my question, yet not read it.

Bear's is the best. I always put ketchup on mine along with Louisiana Hot sauce and fully dressed no naked shrimp po-boy for me.

I grew up in New Orleans and always order it dressed. I usually add my own ketchup.
Did you know that New Orleans is the ketchup capitol of the world? It's because we but so much of it on seafood so eat up and enjoy!!!!!

Ketchup on a poboy is like broccoli in your gumbo...i am from Lake Charles and live in KC now..i ordered gumbo here and it had broccoli in it..."for color" the lady said...almost choked on my sweet tea...im too much of a purist i guess..no tomatoes in my gumbo and no ketchup on my poboy...but LOTS of hot sauce on both!!!!!!!!!!!

Dressed, with catsup. Sometimes I like to squeeze a little lemon on the shrimp. Please tell if you have a fav place for shrimp po boys here in N'awlins. You've given me a craving!

I like my poboy made with oysters, with Mayo and dressed. And that roll better be soft. I have them when I go south on vacation.

I like mine with lettuce, onions, extra pickles, and hot sauce.
Source(s): I've lived in New Orleans my entire life. Every shrimp poboy I order is dressed with lettuce, onions, extra pickles and hot sauce. No ketchup, because I just don't like ketchup. I also love a hot roast beef debris poboy, extra gravy, extra onions... the kind you need a pile of napkins for because you get gravy up to your elbows... Mother's in the CBD especially! Charlie's Deli (ain't there no more) Sam's in Bucktown (still there) ... and all those little hole in the wall places from the Quarter to Bywater.... mmm... I live in the Marigny.
