Shrimp salad sandwiches are a classic seafood lunch or dinner option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. The combination of shrimp, mayonnaise, and celery is a classic, but you can also add other ingredients like chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced red onion, or even a bit of finely chopped apple. To make the sandwich, simply combine the shrimp salad ingredients in a bowl and spread it on your favorite bread. Then, add some lettuce, tomato, and cucumber, and you're good to go. For an extra special touch, serve the sandwich with a side of red chili mayonnaise.

SHRIMP SANDWICH WITH CHILI MAYONNAISE
This recipe for "One Sophisticated Sandwich" looks amazing. Perfect for a ladies lunch! It certainly has all of my favorite ingredients. Clipped it from the Chicago Tribune Food Section, so I have yet to try it. I will post an update ASAP..... it is going to the top of my "to try" list. Prep time does not include time to cook and cool the shrimp. Tip: serve the leftover chili mayonnaise with poached chicken or with chicken / egg salad sandwiches for an unexpected twist.

SARASOTA'S SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD SANDWICH
I love this shrimp salad because it is lighter than other versions. Sometimes, it seemed all I tasted was mayonnaise which is why I like this version so much. It is creamy with a bit of a kick. Serve on croissants with sliced avocado, tomato and creamy cheddar cheese. This can also be served on whole wheat bread, but I prefer the croissants. I like to serve this with a bowl of soup for an easy dinner or lunch. Frozen shrimp will work fine for this. But if you can get fresh even better. My grocery store will steam them for me as I shop with a spicy cajun seasoning which is perfect for this. Or I bring them home and steam them with some Old bay or even in beer.

Steps:
- Shrimp Salad -- In a medium size bowl, add the mayonnaise, yogurt (you can use all mayonnaise if you want, but I love the light flavor the yogurt adds. Also, if you like your salad a bit creamier, just add a bit more mayonnaise or yogurt. Stir in the lime juice, chipotle, salt and pepper and add in the cilantro, celery, olives, onion and diced shrimp. Toss well to combine.
- Sandwiches -- Just pile high. Shrimp salad, then avocado, tomato and cheese. Now croissants have plenty of butter in them, so just spray your grill pan or saute pan with a little non stick spray. If using whole wheat bread, I like to butter each side of the bread slices and then grill. If you don't want to grill, this is also just as good served cold with lettuce.
- When grilling I weigh them down slightly but not too much and grill just until the bread or croissant is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Using a heaving pan is a simple way to weigh them down.
- One NOTE: These are great served open face as well.
- Just Enjoy!

SHRIMP SALAD
Using plenty of lemon - both the zest and juice - is the secret to this tangy, creamy shrimp salad. If you're using this to make sandwiches, chop the shrimp into pieces before adding them to the dressing. You can also leave the shrimp whole for an elegant salad, served with lettuce, avocado, and other vegetables if you like. If you're starting with precooked shrimp, you can skip the first step entirely.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a simmer. Slice one of the lemons and add to the pot, along with the shrimp. Simmer, never letting the water boil if you can help it, until the shrimp turn opaque, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on their size. Drain well, and discard the lemon slices. If you like, you can chop the cooked shrimp into smaller pieces.
- Grate the zest from the remaining lemon into a large bowl. Halve the naked lemon and squeeze the juice into the bowl. Whisk in the mayonnaise and oil.
- Add the celery, onion, herbs and cooked shrimp, tossing to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve with lettuce and avocado, if you like.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality shrimp. Wild-caught shrimp are generally considered to be better tasting than farm-raised shrimp.
- Be sure to devein and clean the shrimp before cooking. This will remove the sand vein, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise for the sandwich spread. Homemade mayonnaise is always best, but a store-bought brand that you enjoy will also work well.
- Add some chopped celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs to the sandwich spread for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve the sandwich on your favorite bread. A soft, fluffy white bread or a hearty whole wheat bread are both good choices.
