Ingredients
- Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 French baguette, sliced lengthwise in 1/2
- Butter Sauce, recipe follows
- Sweet Pickle Mayonnaise, recipe follows
- Shredded lettuce, for serving
- Sliced tomato, for serving
Directions
Arrange about 4 shrimp on each skewer and add to a 13 by 9-inch casserole dish.
Cook's Note: Don't crowd the shrimp onto the skewer. Allow a little space between, so they cook evenly.
Add the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cayenne, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste, to a measuring cup. Whisk well and pour over the shrimp in the casserole. Cover the dish and let the shrimp marinate in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the shrimp skewers over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes total, flipping once halfway through. Add the baguette to the grill and toast.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and add to the butter sauce, discarding the skewers. Toss to coat the shrimp in the butter sauce.
Spread both sides of bread with the Sweet Pickle Mayonnaise and top evenly with the shrimp, shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Slice the baguette in fourths, if desired, and serve immediately.
Butter Sauce:
- 1/2 stick salted butter
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- Dash Worcestershire sauce
Melt the butter in a small saucepan on the grill grates. Add the lemon juice, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Stir together with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Remove from heat and set aside.
Sweet Pickle Mayonnaise:
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped capers
- Dash hot sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

I made this last night and it was incredible! My wife doesn't like really spicy food, so I reduced the 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper down to just a pinch. For the hot sauce, I used 1 tbls of shiracha and 1 tbls of Frank's Red hot in the marinade. Added 3 tbls of fresh chopped cilantro to the marinade and 2 tbls of cilantro to the mayo. Didn't bother with the butter sauce, just basted the shrimp with the marinade before putting it on the sandwich. Fantastico!!!

This was yummy! I didn't have the skewers, so I just threw the shrimp in a cast iron pan to fry. You do have to keep a closer eye on them to make sure they cook, but not overcook. I toasted the bread in the pan too. The butter sauce and the special mayo really make everything come together.
