Hot and Crusty Shrimp Sandwich image

This open-faced sandwich is fantastic! The recipe is adapted from one in a book given to me several years ago by my mother-in-law called "Season's Greetings", by Marlene Sorosky. Marinating time is not included in prep time.

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.

This sandwich was the worst thing I have ever eaten. The shrimp were rubbery and the sauce was like ketchup. I would not recommend this recipe to my worst enemy.

I tried to make this sandwich, but it was a disaster. The shrimp were not cooked properly and the sauce was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.

This sandwich was not good at all. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was too spicy. I would not recommend this recipe.

This sandwich was just okay. The shrimp were a little bland and the sauce was not very flavorful. I would not make this again.

The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I would make this again, but I would use a different sauce.

The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would make this again, but I would cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.
