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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and optional hot sauce to make the sandwich spread. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Toast the buttered bread on a skillet or under a broiler until golden and crispy.

Step 8

Spread the mayonnaise mixture generously on the toasted bread.

Step 9

Layer the sandwich with lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, and cooked shrimp evenly divided between the two sandwiches.

Step 10

Close the sandwiches and serve immediately while warm and crusty.
