Shrimp Club Sandwiches With Chipotle Mayonnaise
- Share via
Club sandwiches are familiar enough, so why not give them a twist? This easy-to-prepare version makes for a fast family meal but can also be a special lunch or light dinner for company.
Buy the largest shrimp you can--to save time, make sure they’re already peeled and deveined. While the shrimp marinate, give your favorite mayonnaise some zip with a chipotle pepper. You can use a pickled or fresh jalapeno for a different flavor.
Serve the sandwiches with a simple black bean salsa you make by mixing a can of drained and rinsed black beans with some of your favorite salsa. Cool off the meal’s heat with scoops of raspberry sorbet or sherbet.
Combine 1/2 teaspoon garlic, oil, Sherry, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp and shake to coat evenly. Marinate 15 minutes.
Fry bacon in skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
Combine mayonnaise with 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic and chipotle; set aside.
Drain shrimp and saute in hot skillet over high heat until slightly pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. (You can also broil or grill the shrimp).
Toast bread. Spread each slice with 1 tablespoon chipotle mayonnaise. Divide shrimp between 2 slices. Top with avocado, then bacon slices. Place 2 tomato slices on top of bacon and top with lettuce. Cover with remaining bread slices. Use toothpicks to hold sandwiches together. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.
