Shrimp BLT image

This recipe originates from Food and Wine, my sister in law passed it along. It is FANTASTIC! Great as a salad on a bed of greens, served it on toasted sandwich rounds (the 100 cal ones) on croissants or as an hor d'oeuvre as originally intended on toasted baguette rounds.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 French bread, cut crosswise into thirty 1/4 inch slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 lb bacon or 1/4 lb pancetta
3/4 lb shrimp, cooked and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup light mayonnaise, plus more for spreading
2 tablespoons basil, fresh chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper
Old Bay Seasoning (optional)
3 ounces baby arugula
4 small plum tomatoes, thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the baguette slices on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes, or until just crisp. Let cool.
  • 2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the pancetta slices or bacon in an even layer and cook over moderate heat until crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and crumble.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, mix the shrimp with the mayonnaise, basil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
  • 4. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each of the baguette slices. Top with an arugula leaf, a slice of tomato and a scant tablespoon of the shrimp salad. Sprinkle with the crumbled pancetta and serve.
  • Make Ahead The shrimp salad can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

I added a little bit of sriracha to my sandwich for a little extra kick. It was the perfect addition!

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It was a great substitute and it didn't take away from the flavor of the sandwich.
