Spicy Shrimp Sandwich with Avocado Mayo
Here is a simple spicy shrimp sandwich with avocado mayo. ย It really is easy to put together for a quick lunch. ย Start by mixing up some olive oil, onion and garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl. ย Add in your shrimp and toss together. ย Place in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Wait, wait, wait here I don’t have an oven so how did I do this??? ย As I mentioned in an earlier post my oven is out of commission so I had to put on my thinking cap. ย I honestly thought I would resort to pan searing but I wanted to keep it simpler by baking them. ย Soย I used our trusty grill and it worked perfect!! ย I just put my baking sheet on the grill instead. ย They cooked a little quicker than they 8-10 minutes but they turned out great!
While your shrimp are cooking make the avocado mayo. ย You could also do this while waiting for the oven to preheat too. ย Place you mayo ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. ย It makes plenty of mayo so don’t go shy on it in your sandwich. ย Hope you enjoy!
