Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a grill or wood-fired grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Brush 12 shucked fresh oysters with 2 tbsp olive oil and place them on the grill for 3-4 minutes until plump and slightly charred around the edges.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp hot sauce, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth to make the spicy remoulade.
  3. Step 3: Lightly toast 1 French baguette sliced lengthwise on the grill for 1-2 minutes until crispy but not burnt.
  4. Step 4: Spread the spicy remoulade evenly on both sides of the toasted baguette. Layer with 1 cup shredded lettuce, slices from 1 medium tomato, and the grilled oysters.
  5. Step 5: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Close the sandwich and serve immediately for a smoky, spicy Po’Boy experience.
