Ingredients

Spicy Shrimp

Sriracha mayo

Addional ingredients

  • 5 burger buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 2 to 3 medium avocados sliced
  • 2 tomatoes sliced
  • lettuce leaves as required

Instructions

  • Toss shrimp and all other ingredients (under spicy shrimp, except vegetable oil) together in a bowl and let marinade for about 30 minutes (if pressed for time, then continue right away).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, place half the shrimp in a single layer, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turn over and continue cooking for another minute or two, until full cooked but still tender. Transfer shrimp to a plate and continue cooking with remaining shrimp.
  • Make Sriracha Mayo
    Stir all sriracha mayo ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Toast Buns- Spread a thin layer of butter on both the cut sides of burger buns and place them (buttered side down) on a moderately hot skillet and cook until golden brown (you don't need to toast other side).
  • Assemble Sandwiches - Spread some sriracha mayo on both the cut sides of a bun and fill them with about 6 to 8 shrimps, followed by sliced avocado, tomato and lettuce.
  • Repeat process to make remaining sandwiches.

Notes

Marinade shrimp if possible – Toss shrimp with spices and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps the shrimp to get much more flavorful.

Add sriracha to your liking

To thaw frozen shrimp – Place shrimp in a large bowl and fill the bowl with cold or room temperature water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until thawed (the time will depend on the quantity of shrimp) and then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Don’t overcook shrimp. Cook just until shrimp is curled into a C.
