Preparation takes 15 minutes.
Ingredients
For two sandwiches:
- 12 medium sized cooked, de-viened and peeled shrimp
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 medium tomato
- 1/2 cup spring onion
- 1 cup lettuce
- 4 slices ciabatta, sour-dough, whole-grain or your favorite bread

- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
- Optional: monterey jack, swiss or your favorite cheese shredded
- Optional: hot sauce
- Optional: alfalfa sprouts
Method
- Cut the shrimp into three pieces each (or two pieces if you like them chunkier)
- Saute the shrimp in olive oil with salt and pepper
- Cut the tomato and avocado into cubes
- Cut up the lettuce and spring onion
- Combine the shrimp and vegetables in a large bowl
- Add the mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice in the bowl and mix well

Tip: A better method for bread preparation is to butter two slices of bread and toast in a pan till brown.
Tip: We like cutting the shrimp into pieces to maximize the taste in every bite. You can leave them whole if you prefer.
Tip: You can substitute fresh steamed lobster pieces instead of shrimp.
