Barbecued Shrimp Blt Sandwich Recipes

SHRIMP BLT

Steps:

• Toss the shrimp with the lemon juice and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning in a medium bowl. Whisk the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped pickles, the remaining 1 teaspoon Old Bay and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and discard all but 1 teaspoon of the fat in the skillet. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer along with the liquid. Cook, flipping the shrimp halfway through, until opaque and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Lightly toast the potato bread and spread each slice with the sour cream mixture. Sandwich with the lettuce, tomatoes, shrimp, pickle slices and bacon. Serve with potato chips.

SUNNY'S OPEN-FACED GRILLED BLT

Steps:

• For the bread: Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
• Lay out the dough on a work surface and sprinkle with the olive oil, parsley, rosemary, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Fold it over itself and roll out or just press with your hands to make a square that could fit four slices of bread, because that's the goal. (You will eventually want to cut this into fourths to serve.) Place on the direct heat of the grill and cook until it releases from the grill and is slightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until done, 5 to 8 minutes.
• For the bacon: Mix the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, zest and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl. Press the bacon into this mixture and place on a piece of nonstick aluminum foil on the grill. Cook, without flipping, until the bacon is crispy, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and roughly chop.
• For the tomatoes and lettuce: Brush the tomato slices and lettuce with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes and lettuce directly on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until the tomatoes and lettuce are slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Build the sandwiches: Mix the mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice and sriracha seasoning in a small bowl. Chop the grilled tomatoes and lettuce. Add the chopped tomatoes to the bread and press them slightly into the bread, then add the chopped bacon and piles of lettuce. Drizzle with the sriracha mayonnaise. Cut into four pieces and serve.

BARBECUED SHRIMP AND BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Wrap each shrimp with a bacon slice. Thread each shrimp on a small bamboo skewer and brush lightly with oil before broiling. Place skewers on a wire rack set into a foil-lined metal tray.
• Broil the shrimp until the bacon gets crispy on all sides. Baste with barbecue sauce and broil for 2 minutes. Turn once and finish, another 3 to 6 minutes, or until shrimp are just cooked through. Serve warm.

BBQ SHRIMP "BLT" SANDWICH

Steps:

• MAKE THE SAUCE: In a medium saucepan, heat the oil. Sweat the shallots for about 2 minutes. Do not brown.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine and vinegar and reduce slightly.
• Pour in the cream and reduce the sauce by half. Whisk in the butter and strain into a clean pan.
• Season with lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
• COOK THE SHRIMP: Sprinkle the vegetable oil over the shrimp. Grill the shrimp, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Do not overcook.
• Drain and cut each shrimp in half lengthwise.
• PREPARE THE SANDWICH: For each sandwich, spread a little mayonnaise on one slice of bread and arrange a little lettuce on the bread. Top with 3 slices of tomatoes, season lightly with salt and pepper, and arrange the bacon on the tomatoes. Top with the second slice of bread, a thin layer of mayonnaise and a little lettuce. Heat the shrimp in the lemon butter and arrange on the lettuce. Top with the third slice of bread and cut in half. Serve immediately.
