SHRIMP SANDWICHES (AKA EASY ENTERTAINING)



Shrimp Sandwiches (aka Easy Entertaining) image

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!

Lemony Shrimp and Bean Stew image

With minimal prep and a quick cook time, this shrimp stew feels elegant for such an easy weeknight meal. You can also take the dish in a number of directions: Substitute the shrimp with an equal amount of flaky white fish or even seared scallops, or stretch the dish into a meal for six by stirring in some butter and serving over cooked spaghetti or rigatoni. A good glug of your best olive oil would also be a welcome.

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon yeast
2 cups warmed milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cups sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, for cooking fish and shrimp
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped black olives
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
1 tablespoon dill weed
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 pounds cod fish
2 pounds large shrimp
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
1 cup lemon yogurt
4 slices bread

Steps:

  • For the bread: In a bowl, combine the yeast and warmed milk. Mix well and let sit for a couple of minutes until the yeast is foamy. Add the melted butter and sugar. Mix well.
  • Add the flour and salt. Mix well. Turn onto a lightly floured board or counter top and knead well for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Put the dough in a generously buttered bowl and cover with a clean towel. Let rise for 1 hour.
  • Punch down and place the dough in a buttered 9 by 12-inch bread pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place into oven and bake for approximately 45 to 55 minutes. Ovens vary so keep an eye on your bread. Tap on the bottom of your bread, if there's a hollow sound, it is completed. If not, bake a couple of minutes more. Remove from oven, let the bread cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove and cool on a wire rack.
  • For assembly: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cucumber, carrots, celery, olives, lemon juice, lemon pepper, dill weed, parsley, and salt to the skillet and mix well. Let those ingredients simmer while you dice the fish and shrimp into small pieces.
  • Add the fish and shrimp to the skillet, mix well, and cover with a lid.
  • Place bread on each of 4 plates. Check the fish mixture and add the cheese. Turn off the heat and cover with the lid. In a bowl, pour the lemon yogurt. Add the fish mixture to the lemon yogurt and mix well. Scoop the fish mixture onto the bread to your desired fullness. Serve immediately while the fish is hot.

SHRIMP-LOUIE SANDWICH



Shrimp-Louie Sandwich image

This sandwiched-riff on the famed salad, said to have originated in California, is the perfect summertime lunch to enjoy outdoors. We warm the namesake ingredient in butter, then lightly dress it in a lemony ketchup sauce flecked with paprika and ancho chili powder.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Time 20m

Yield Makes 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
3/4 teaspoon chili powder, preferably ancho
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, melted, for brushing
2 cups frozen cooked salad shrimp (9 ounces), thawed, drained, and thoroughly patted dry (1 1/2 cups)
5 scallions, light-and dark-green parts only, thinly sliced (2/3 cup)
1 small avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into a 1/2-inch dice
4 slices sweet Hawaiian, potato, butter, or similar soft white sandwich bread
Butter-lettuce leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together ketchup, lemon juice, paprika, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shrimp and cook, gently stirring, just until warmed through but not hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl with ketchup mixture; stir to combine.
  • Gently fold in scallions and avocado; season to taste. Lightly brush one side of each bread slice with melted butter. Sandwich shrimp mixture and lettuce leaves between buttered sides of bread slices; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the freshest, most flavorful shrimp, choose wild-caught shrimp whenever possible.
  • If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes.
  • Be sure to devein the shrimp before cooking. This will remove the dark vein that runs along the back of the shrimp and can be gritty and unappetizing.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise for the sandwich spread. A homemade mayonnaise is always best, but a store-bought mayonnaise will also work well.
  • Add some fresh herbs or spices to the mayonnaise spread for extra flavor. Dill, parsley, chives, and tarragon are all good choices.
  • Serve the sandwiches on your favorite bread. A crusty baguette or a soft ciabatta roll are both good options.

Conclusion:

Lemony Shrimp Sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of lemony shrimp, creamy mayonnaise, and fresh herbs is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying sandwich, give this recipe a try.
