SHRIMP AND CRAB GRILLED SANDWICH



Shrimp and Crab Grilled Sandwich image

This is one of my favorite sandwiches, just a light sandwich. I serve this open faced or you can make this panini style, either or, with a big bowl of soup.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 4h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 loaf Italian bread, cut in thin slices toasted with just a drizzle of olive oil
8 ounces shrimp, diced fine (canned will work, but fresh is much better)
1 teaspoon butter (to saute shrimp)
6 ounces cream cheese
4 ounces crabmeat (lump or claw is fine, canned will work too)
3 scallions, chopped fine green only
2 tablespoons brandy
1 teaspoon fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saute pan, add the butter and heat to medium heat. Saute the shrimp and garlic until done. It will take just a minute or two.
  • Remove shrimp to cool.
  • Now in a medium size bowl, add the shrimp with the cream cheese (room temp), brandy, Worcestershire, hot sauce, seasoning, and fresh dill and mix will. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours. (2 or more to get all the flavors mixed).
  • Toast the bread (I like a little olive oil drizzled on it). Golden brown. Just takes 2 minutes per side in a 425F oven.
  • Lightly toss the shrimp mix with the crab and scallions and spread on the warm bread.
  • That just as an open face sandwich is just perfect to me. A nice bowl of soup and can't get much better.
  • Or just just put on a hot griddle, grill or saute pan for just 2-3 minutes to heat up and press down and just as good. Either way, it is a great sandwich.

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup chopped fresh crabmeat
1 cup chopped cooked shrimp
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
8 slices firm white sandwich bread
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise and next 3 ingredients in medium bowl. Gently mix in crabmeat, shrimp, celery, and onion. Season filling with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange 4 bread slices on work surface. Spread 1/4 of filling on each slice (about 1/2 cup). Top filling with bread slice; press to adhere. Brush top bread slice of each sandwich with melted butter.
  • Place large griddle over 2 burners. Heat griddle over medium heat. Place sandwiches, buttered side down, on griddle. Cook until bottom is golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Brush top of each sandwich with melted butter. Using metal spatula, turn sandwiches over. Cook until bottom is golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut each sandwich into quarters. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and succulent shrimp and crab meat: The freshness of the seafood is paramount to the overall taste of the salad. Look for shrimp that are firm, plump, and have a slight briny smell. As for the crab meat, opt for lump crab meat for a more luxurious texture.
  • Properly cook the shrimp: Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery, so it's essential to cook them just until they turn opaque and pink. You can boil, steam, or grill the shrimp, depending on your preference.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is a crucial ingredient in this salad, as it binds all the ingredients together and adds richness. Choose a mayonnaise made with fresh eggs and oil, and avoid using low-fat or fat-free options as they may lack flavor.
  • Add some crunch: To add texture and contrast to the salad, consider incorporating some crunchy elements such as celery, red onion, or cucumber. You can also add some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Season the salad well: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A good balance of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is essential to enhance the flavors of the seafood and other ingredients.
  • Serve the salad chilled: For the best taste and texture, serve the salad chilled. You can refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or even overnight for a more intense flavor.

The Crusty Shrimp and Crab Salad Sandwiches are a delightful combination of fresh seafood, creamy mayonnaise, and crunchy vegetables, all nestled in a warm, crusty roll.
