SHRIMP SANDWICHES (AKA EASY ENTERTAINING)
I love that there is no cooking required with this recipe, especially if you buy pre-cooked shrimp which is so tempting when the temperatures outside are climbing into the 100's! Use a colorful variety of tomatoes to prettify your platter. Lining everything up and allowing guests to build their own sandwiches is really an easy way to entertain and it keeps things interesting. If you're really pressed for time, you can even use a selection of good cold cuts, salami, etc and cut your prep time in half!

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.

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.
HOT-SAUCE SHRIMP
So much more than a condiment for your morning eggs, hot sauce can add kick to dips, soups, marinades, sauces and more. Because most include vinegar and salt in addition to chiles, all hot sauce needs to become a silky pan sauce is fat. That's the approach used in this super-quick recipe, which tastes like a cross between Buffalo chicken wings and chile shrimp. After charring some scallions in the skillet, shrimp are cooked until plump and pink, then both are tossed with butter and hot sauce until glossy. Because hot sauces vary greatly in terms of heat, start with one tablespoon, then add more as you wish. If it's too spicy for you, add more butter, or serve it with rice, crusty bread, beer, yogurt or ranch dressing to cut the heat.

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.

- To get the shrimp crispy, make sure to coat them in a mixture of flour, cornstarch, and spices before frying.
