Hot And Crusty Shrimp Sandwich Recipes

SHRIMP SANDWICHES (AKA EASY ENTERTAINING)

Steps:

• Chop and pat dry your cooked shrimp.
• In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, 1/4 cup mayo, 2 Tbsp sour cream, 2 tsp Dijon, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp chopped dill, 2 Tbsp chopped green onion. Mix well to combine then gently stir in chopped cucumbers. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Line your prepared vegetables up on a large serving platter. Garnish the tomatoe slices with basil if you're feeling fancy.
• Brush your bread lightly with butter and toast on a hot skillet until golden brown on one side. Toasting makes all the difference with these sandwiches. These rolls are from Fred Meyer; buy the softest and freshest ones you can get your hands on. Add the toasted bread to your serving platter and you're ready to feed a crowd.

HOT AND CRUSTY SHRIMP SANDWICH

Steps:

• To make the marinade, mix the oil, garlic, mustard, salt, lemon juice, vinegar, and cayenne in a medium glass or plastic bowl. Stir in the sliced onion and shrimp. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator up to 3 hours.
• Using your hands, remove as much bread as possible from the inside of the half-loaf of French bread, leaving a 1-inch rim. Place the bread pieces in a food processor (fitted with metal blade) and process into crumbs; measure 1 cup. Saute' the 1 cup crumbs in 2 tablespoons of the butter until golden; set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400°F With a fork, mix remaining 4 tablespoons butter with 3 tablespoons parsley and the garlic in a small bowl until combined. Spread on the inside of the hollowed loaf. Remove the shrimp and onions from the marinade (reserving marinade) and place in the loaf. Sprinkle with the olives and pimento, then drizzle with 3 tablespoons marinade (discard remaining marinade). Sprinkle with the sauteed bread crumbs and remaining 2 tablespoons parsley.
• Place the bread on a sheet of foil in the center of the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the bread is crusty (watch closely--mine did not take this long).
• Using a sharp, serrated knife (or a large mezzaluna, as I used), cut into 6 slices to serve. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SHRIMP PO'BOY

Steps:

• For the sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, capers, hot sauce, lemon juice, horseradish, Creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside.
• For the sandwich: In a large cast iron skillet, heat 1-inch of oil over medium to 375°. Place the buttermilk in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, stir together the cornmeal and Creole seasoning. Working in batches, dip the shrimp in the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Toss the shrimp in the cornmeal, shaking off the excess.
• Working in batches, fry the shrimp until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to a paper towel lined baking sheet to drain. Season to taste with salt.
• Spread the cut-sides of rolls with the sauce. Top with evenly with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, pickles and fried shrimp. Serve with hot sauce and the remaining sauce on the side, if you like.

SHRIMP SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cool the cooked shrimp and shell and devein.
• If the shrimp are large, cut them in half lengthwise.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Spread mayonnaise generously over one inch of each slice of bread. Mound half the lettuce on half the bread slices, leaving a 1 inch margin of bread. Mound the shrimp on top of the lettuce and season them with some salt and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce. Cover with the remaining lettuce and another slice of bread.
• Press firmly on the edges to seal the sandwiches. Trim the crust if you wish.

HOT-SAUCE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Put the butter and hot sauce in a large bowl.
• Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over high. Add the scallions and cook until softened and browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the scallions to the bowl with the butter and hot sauce.
• Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adding more oil if the pan is dry. Flip and cook until opaque all the way through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Transfer the shrimp and any juices to the butter, hot sauce and scallions. Toss vigorously until the butter is melted and the shrimp is glossy. Taste, and add more hot sauce and salt as needed.

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together ketchup, lemon juice, paprika, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.

• Gently fold in scallions and avocado; season to taste. Lightly brush one side of each bread slice with melted butter. Sandwich shrimp mixture and lettuce leaves between buttered sides of bread slices; serve immediately.
