Shrimp Scampi Po' Boys {On Garlic Bread}

The following recipe came to me only because I was out of lettuce. Yep.  
I set to making a traditional po' boy, but before I got started I realized I was completely out of lettuce.  I didn't want to make a grocery run, so I decided to make shrimp scampi instead.  But wait - I had already made the french bread, and it smelled too good not to use right then.  Then the idea gates opened up in my head, and I knew what I was going to do.

I was going to make a Shrimp Scampi Po' Boy, and make the french bread into garlic bread to sandwich all that yummy shrimp in between.  And, I did - then I devoured it.
