Kung Pao Shrimp Po’ Boys are a deceptively simple lunch or dinner idea, that are full of flavor and simply irresistible. It’s a gourmet meal, made in your own kitchen, served on a plate in perfect form.

I don’t know about you, but I sure do enjoy a good meal from my favorite Asian take out joint. I have to limit my indulgence though, simple because good gourmet Asian flavor isn’t cheap.

And I will happily pay for great food with flavor profiles I’m not familiar with. A good meal is always a good investment in my book.

But, I’m human and also have to live by a budget. Paying the bills and keeping a roof over my kids’ heads is a must. Obviously, keeping them healthy, happy, and safe is always my priority.

So it makes it an even more enjoyable treat when we get to splurge.

In the happiest of coincidences, I wandered down the Asian aisle at our local Walmart a few weeks ago– and noticed something NEW. Yummy lookingNEW P.F. Chang’s® Home Menu sauces.

There were three flavors: Sesame, Teriyaki, and Kung Pao. I know you already know, but yep– all three went in my basket.

I actually had to keep a constant eye on my speedometer on the way home, because I was a little too excited to get home and make some magic with them in my kitchen.

This is what adulting looks like apparently; making sure you adhere to the posted speed limit because you’re overly zealous to rush home and cook a gourmet meal without the gourmet price tag.

I feel like there’s a common misconception that homemade meals are less flavorful than their gourmet counterparts.

Rest assured, that’s just a myth. Using P.F. Chang’s®sauces, you can get real, taste-bud blowing flavor on any budget, even on the busiest of evenings. They’re the simple secret to extraordinary flavor

Now that the secret’s out, so stock up on these savory sauces and let them do the flavoring for you. The choice, like the seriously incredible sauce, is simple.

Crusty baguette rolls are stuffed with a tangy Asian-flavored broccoli slaw. Crispy, baked popcorn shrimp are tossed in Kung Pao sauce and piled high on top of the slaw stuffed buns.

Drizzled with a sweet Sweet Chili aoili– these Kung Pao Shrimp Po’ Boys will leave you heading for the Asian aisle at the local Walmart, instead of the take out menu after one bite. And I can promise, you won’t be disappointed.

A solid Po’ Boy is a Southern staple. Given an Asian spin, this version’s a simple meal that will quickly become a new family favorite. No phone calls, no waiting, no expensive bill– just a quick spin in my pantry and this flavor bending sandwich is a go.

Don’t you just love Asian cuisine that’s made so simple?
