SHRIMP SANDWICHES (AKA EASY ENTERTAINING)



Shrimp Sandwiches (aka Easy Entertaining) image

I love that there is no cooking required with this recipe, especially if you buy pre-cooked shrimp which is so tempting when the temperatures outside are climbing into the 100's! Use a colorful variety of tomatoes to prettify your platter. Lining everything up and allowing guests to build their own sandwiches is really an easy way to entertain and it keeps things interesting. If you're really pressed for time, you can even use a selection of good cold cuts, salami, etc and cut your prep time in half!

1/4 cup real mayo
2 Tbsp sour cream
2 tsp Dijon mustard (Grey Poupon)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp fresh dill (finely chopped)
2 Tbsp fresh green onion (finely chopped)
1 small cucumber (diced)

Steps:

  • Chop and pat dry your cooked shrimp.

  • Line your prepared vegetables up on a large serving platter. Garnish the tomatoe slices with basil if you're feeling fancy.
  • Brush your bread lightly with butter and toast on a hot skillet until golden brown on one side. Toasting makes all the difference with these sandwiches. These rolls are from Fred Meyer; buy the softest and freshest ones you can get your hands on. Add the toasted bread to your serving platter and you're ready to feed a crowd.
