Langostino Po' Boys

[The Barbarian]

Languistino salad Po' Boy
Two Sandwiches

8 oz langostino tails
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely sliced celery
2 6-8 in. hoagie rolls
Lemon pepper to taste

Melt butter with oil in frying pan on medium heat.

Slice rolls lengthwise, across top of roll, about 2/3 through.

Spread rolls to open, and brush lightly with a little of the melted butter/oil.

Put opened and buttered rolls in broiler, just long enough to very lightly brown the bread and make the surface crunchy.

Remove from broiler.

Saute langostino tails in pan, until almost done.

Add celery and stir-fry for two minutes.

Add Lemon pepper mixture to taste.

Add cream cheese and mayonnaise.

Stir until mixture coats the langostino.

Fill hoagie rolls and serve warm.

This thread was advertised on the right hand side of my screen.

Langustino Po' Boys - that's all you had to say. You had me at 'hello' with this.

 

[Davorah]

1 tablespoon cream cheese

And cream cheese too- YUM!

That's basically a New England lobster roll but I don't know anyone who uses cream cheese in their mix.

Any idea where the hoagie in hoagie rolls comes from?

No. Darn it, now I'll have to find out... (Barbarian checks)

Turns out, no one knows for sure, but it seems like it started in Philadelphia:
7 Theories About the Origin of the Word "Hoagie"

A more scholarly site doesn't seem to have more than that:
hoagie | Search Online Etymology Dictionary

My cousin's wife grew up in Philly, and she's the one from whom I first heard the term.

Yeah. Langostino tastes very much like lobster, but it's cheaper. I was attempting to get a really smooth, dense sauce that would cling to the bits, sort of the way Chinese stir fry works. I used very mild seasoning, to let the flavor of the tails come through. Trust me, this is really good.
