po-boy

New Orleans sandwich

A po-boy is a Louisiana sandwich served on a long French bread roll, typically filled with fried seafood like shrimp or oysters, or with roast beef and gravy.

The name likely comes from "poor boy"—it was filling food for working people.

I'll have a shrimp po-boy dressed means with lettuce, tomato, and mayo.
