Cuisine: Cajun
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/2 cup remoulade sauce
- 1 tbsp Tony Chachere's seasoning
- Olive oil for grilling
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure proper seasoning and grilling.
- In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with Tony Chachere's seasoning and a light drizzle of olive oil, ensuring each shrimp is evenly coated.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F).
- Lightly brush grill grates with olive oil to prevent shrimp from sticking.
- Arrange shrimp on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and develop light char marks.
- While shrimp are grilling, slice hoagie rolls lengthwise and lightly toast the inside on the grill for 30-60 seconds.
- Remove shrimp from grill and let rest for 1-2 minutes.
- Spread a generous layer of remoulade sauce on both sides of each toasted hoagie roll.
- Layer shredded lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom half of each roll.
- Arrange grilled shrimp evenly over the lettuce and tomato.
- Close sandwiches with top halves of rolls and slice diagonally if desired.
- Serve immediately while shrimp are still warm and rolls are crisp.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Shrimp: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before seasoning.
- Perfectly Seasoned: Don’t skimp on the Tony Chachere's seasoning! This Cajun staple adds a delightful kick that enhances the shrimp's natural sweetness.
- Grilling Technique: Preheat your grill or grill pan properly to ensure that the shrimp cook evenly and develop those beautiful char marks. A medium-high heat (400-450°F) is ideal.
- Toast the Rolls: Lightly toasting the hoagie rolls not only adds a nice crunch but also helps prevent them from becoming soggy when filled with the shrimp and sauce.
- Build the Perfect Sandwich: Layer the ingredients thoughtfully—starting with remoulade, then lettuce and tomatoes, followed by the shrimp—to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
- Serve Immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh off the grill while the shrimp are warm and the rolls are crisp. Don’t wait too long to dig in!
