Description:
This is a delightful meal that’s quick to prepare, filling, and absolutely scrumptious. It’s a favorite in my household, with requests for it coming in regularly. If shrimp isn’t your thing, no worries! Simply omit it and add an extra 1/4 pound of crab instead. While I’ve always used imitation crab, fresh crab would undoubtedly elevate the dish even further.
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 lb | Baby shrimp |
| 1 cup | Mayonnaise |
| 1 1/4 cup | Green onion, chopped |
| 1/4 head | Iceberg lettuce, shredded |
| 1/2 tsp | Seasoning salt |
| 1/2 tbsp | Lemon juice |
| 1/2 | Tomato, sliced |
| 2 slices | Mozzarella cheese |
| Avocado, sliced | |
| 12 slices | Sliced bread |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the baby shrimp, crab, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, shredded iceberg lettuce, seasoning salt, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Assemble the sandwiches: Place two slices of tomato on the bottom half of each sliced bread. Spoon the crab mixture generously over the tomato slices. Top each sandwich with two slices of mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake the sandwiches: Arrange the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, usually about 10 minutes.
-
Garnish and serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the sandwiches from the oven. Garnish with slices of avocado if desired.
These Hot Crab & Shrimp Sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, with the cheese gooey and the flavors melded together perfectly. Serve them alongside your favorite side dish or enjoy them as a standalone meal for a delightful lunch or snack option that’s easy to make and sure to satisfy your taste buds! 🦀🍤🥪
