For the Smoked Onion Mayo: Soak hickory chips in water. While the chips are soaking toss the onions in 1 teaspoon salt and sugar. Then place the chips in a preheated grill or smoker and hard smoke for 30 minutes. Once onions are smoked, caramelize them over medium-low heat in a large pan with the oil until nice and dark golden brown. Puree caramelized onions with Worcestershire, hot sauce, coriander and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Then fold onion puree into mayonnaise. Taste for seasoning.

For the Po'Boy: Sprinkle the shrimp in Creole seasoning and grill on each side for 1 minute. Cooking time may vary depending on your heat. Divide the shrimp between the bread, add the mayo, avocado, tomato slices and lettuce.
