Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 large baguette or hoagie rolls
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon optional hot sauce
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated in the seasoning mix.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and optional hot sauce to make the sandwich spread. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Slice the baguettes or hoagie rolls lengthwise but not all the way through, leaving them hinged. Lightly butter the insides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
Toast the buttered bread on a skillet or under a broiler until golden and crispy.
Spread the mayonnaise mixture generously on the toasted bread.
Layer the sandwich with lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, and cooked shrimp evenly divided between the two sandwiches.
Close the sandwiches and serve immediately while warm and crusty.
