HOT CRAB & SHRIMP SANDWICHES



Hot Crab & Shrimp Sandwiches image

This is a very easy to put together meal which is filling and very delicious. My family is always asking me to make it. If you don't like shrimp, omit and add 1/4 lb more of crab. I have always made this with imitation crab, but I am sure fresh crab would be even more delicious.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 48m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 loaf French bread, cut in half horizontally (reserve half for other use)
6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
5 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons sliced black olives
3 tablespoons chopped pimiento

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 and Crab Grilled Sandwich image

This is one of my favorite sandwiches, just a light sandwich. I serve this open faced or you can make this panini style, either or, with a big bowl of soup.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 4h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 loaf Italian bread, cut in thin slices toasted with just a drizzle of olive oil
8 ounces shrimp, diced fine (canned will work, but fresh is much better)
1 teaspoon butter (to saute shrimp)
6 ounces cream cheese
4 ounces crabmeat (lump or claw is fine, canned will work too)
3 scallions, chopped fine green only
2 tablespoons brandy
1 teaspoon fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saute pan, add the butter and heat to medium heat. Saute the shrimp and garlic until done. It will take just a minute or two.
  • Remove shrimp to cool.
  • Now in a medium size bowl, add the shrimp with the cream cheese (room temp), brandy, Worcestershire, hot sauce, seasoning, and fresh dill and mix will. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours. (2 or more to get all the flavors mixed).
  • Toast the bread (I like a little olive oil drizzled on it). Golden brown. Just takes 2 minutes per side in a 425F oven.
  • Lightly toss the shrimp mix with the crab and scallions and spread on the warm bread.
  • That just as an open face sandwich is just perfect to me. A nice bowl of soup and can't get much better.
  • Or just just put on a hot griddle, grill or saute pan for just 2-3 minutes to heat up and press down and just as good. Either way, it is a great sandwich.
