04 - Slice sandwich rolls in half. Lightly butter cut sides and toast in a skillet or toaster until golden brown.

06 - Serve immediately while shrimp is warm and bread remains crisp for optimal texture and flavor.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • Perfect balance of warm, spiced shrimp and refreshing vegetables
  • Ready in under 30 minutes but tastes like something from a seaside cafe
  • Customizable enough to work with whatever you have in the fridge
02 -
  • Overcooked shrimp becomes rubbery fast, so watch carefully and pull them the second they turn pink
  • Toast the buns well because nothing sadder than a soggy sandwich bottom
  • Slice the avocado right before assembling to avoid that unappetizing brown color
03 -
  • Pat the shrimp dry before tossing with spices for better searing
  • Let the assembled sandwich rest for one minute before cutting so everything settles
  • A little hot sauce in the mayo mix changes the whole game if you like heat
