Sammich Saturday: Crispy Shrimp Sandwiches

March 10, 2012 by Jaida Leave a Comment

Hello, and happy Saturday!! I hope the weather in your neck of the woods is better than here in cold, rainy Central Texas. Not only am I ready for warm, sunny weather, but the change from near-80 degree weather one day to 40 and rainy the next makes me a little crazy! It’s a good thing that my plan for this weekend is to stay inside and catch up on some much-needed cleaning and cooking!
What do you have planned for this weekend? I hope it’s sunny and warm, and you get to go out and enjoy the sunshine! C’mon Spring! Oh, and don’t forget that tonight we set our clocks forward and hour…at least that will give us a bit more daylight each evening. Now, onto the delicious sandwich pictured above. Shortly after I decided to start Sammich Saturdays, I ran across this amazing sandwich on How Sweet It Is, and I immediately put in on my food calendar. Shrimp, avocado, bacon, cripsy bread…what more could a girl ask for?? Well, besides warm weather and sunshine, of course šŸ˜‰
This is one of those sammiches that seems a bit fancier than your normal sandwich, but doesn’t take much more effort than slapping a few pieces of lunchmeat and cheese between plain ol’ bread. So, really there is no excuse not to reward your mouth with the amazing flavors!! I do recommend that you either toast your bread really well, or buy a bread that is a little bit more firm. I used regular sub rolls and lightly toasted them, and wished it had been a bit more toasted. Now, I don’t like hard breads of any kind (imagine me in France trying to get around the crispy baguettes…) but because the ingredients in the sammich are mostly very soft, a teenyĀ bit of crispness to the bread brings it all together! I devoured mine nonetheless and it was one of the most amazing things I have eaten in awhile. So, get into that kitchen and whip one up for your Saturday lunch!! Go!

  • 1 pound of peeled and deveined raw shrimp

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
