• Shrimp -- Bring a medium pot of water and bay seasoning to a medium boil. Heat should be medium / high. Add the shrimp and bring back up to a boil. Remove from the heat and let the shrimp to continue to cook 1-2 minutes until they just turn pink and begin to curl. You don't want to overcook them.

• Salad -- In a medium size bowl, add the shrimp, and squeeze the lemon over the top. Add the onion, celery, parsley, mayo and mix well. If you are adding in the scallions, add them at this time as well. Season with a pinch of the Old Bay, start slow, you can always add more; then salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine. Continue to season with any additional salt, pepper or Old Bay until you get the taste you want.
• Sandwich -- I like to toast my sandwich rolls, but it is not necessary. I just like the added flavor. No butter, No oil, just toasted. Then top with the shrimp salad,lettuce and tomato. I also like to lightly salt and pepper the tomato slice, finish with the top sandwich roll.
• Serve -- Fries, chips, a pickle or a fresh fruit salad. Just ENJOY!

SARASOTA'S SHRIMP SPINACH STRATA

Steps:

• NOTE: Back when we first made this there were not bags of frozen vegetables but just boxes. I usually use fresh, but the bags that are available today, listed below, is the equivalent of what we originally used.
• Casserole -- Spray a 13x9 casserole dish with Pam or a non stick spray. Line the bottom of the casserole dish with the bread slices. Tear up or cut any remaining slices in small bits and pieces to fill in any holes. Be sure to cover the entire bottom of the casserole pan.
• Layers -- Spread the pesto sauce (I used Classico, but there are many good brands available or better yet, make your own) over the bread slices and sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Top with the shrimp, then the spinach, and then the entire package of the pepper and onion stir fry mix. Finish off by topping with the remaining cheese.
• Egg Mixture -- I a medium size bowl, add the eggs and beat well, mix in the thyme, oregano, milk, hot sauce, salt and pepper and pour the mixture over the casserole. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate all day at least 8 hours or overnight which is even better.
• Bake -- Heat oven to 350, uncover and bake 45 minutes and when you stick a knife in the center the eggs are set and the knife will come out clean the dish is done. Remove from the oven and let set 15 minutes before cutting.
• Serve -- Just cut into squares and enjoy. A nice side salad is perfect with this dish.

SARASOTA'S SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD SANDWICH

Steps:

• Shrimp Salad -- In a medium size bowl, add the mayonnaise, yogurt (you can use all mayonnaise if you want, but I love the light flavor the yogurt adds. Also, if you like your salad a bit creamier, just add a bit more mayonnaise or yogurt. Stir in the lime juice, chipotle, salt and pepper and add in the cilantro, celery, olives, onion and diced shrimp. Toss well to combine.
• Sandwiches -- Just pile high. Shrimp salad, then avocado, tomato and cheese. Now croissants have plenty of butter in them, so just spray your grill pan or saute pan with a little non stick spray. If using whole wheat bread, I like to butter each side of the bread slices and then grill. If you don't want to grill, this is also just as good served cold with lettuce.
• When grilling I weigh them down slightly but not too much and grill just until the bread or croissant is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Using a heaving pan is a simple way to weigh them down.
• One NOTE: These are great served open face as well.
• Just Enjoy!
