Hot And Crusty Shrimp Sandwich Food

CRUNCHY FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a medium bowl until frothy. Mix flour, salt and pepper in another medium bowl. Dredge shrimp in flour, shake off excess. Dip shrimp into eggs, then press shrimp into Panko; turn shrimp over and press into Panko again to coat both sides.
• Pour enough oil into heavy large pot to reach depth of 2 inches; heat to 350 degrees F. Working in batches, add shrimp to hot oil; deep-fry until cooked through, about 1 minute. Using tongs transfer shrimp to paper towels to drain. Arrange shrimp on platter. If desired, serve with Kikkoman Tonkatsu Sauce for dipping.

HOT AND CRUSTY SHRIMP SANDWICH

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.

HOT-SAUCE SHRIMP

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.

MILE-HIGH SHRIMP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Blanch the julienned carrot in rapidly boiling salted water for about 30 seconds, or until the color is set, but the carrot is still very crip.
• Drain well and cool under cold running water.
• Pat dry.
• Combine carrot, onion, lemon juice, brown sugar, ginger and cayenne in a small bowl and toss to mix.
• Season with salt and additional cayenne, if desired.
• Set aside.
• Halve avocado, remove pit and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
• Mash, then add the lime juice and salt to taste; stir to combine.
• Lay the toast on a plate.
• Spread with the mashed avocado, then lightly mound some sprouts over the avocado and sprinkle with the carrot salad.
• Arrange the shrimp over the salad.
• *Cook the shrimp anyway you like but this is great with hot off the grill (indoor or outdoor) shrimp!

SHRIMP-LOUIE SANDWICH

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.
