This recipe was graciously shared with me by an elderly gentleman I met at the seafood counter, who insisted that I try combining shrimp with champagne grapes. What started as a simple trio of shrimp, mayo, and grapes has evolved over the years, with the addition of fresh chives, zesty lemon juice, and warm toasted rolls.

Perfect for a light lunch or snack, this sandwich can also be served as an appetizer by pairing the shrimp salad with toasted bruschetta. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity – no need for precise measurements, just adjust the ingredients to your taste preferences. However, I recommend enjoying it fresh as it’s best when the bread is still warm!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound baby shrimp
• 1/4 cup champagne grapes
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• Extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
• 4 sandwich rolls

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. Rinse and drain the baby shrimp and champagne grapes, then set them aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the juice of 2 lemons, stirring until well blended.

4. Add the shrimp, champagne grapes, and chopped chives to the bowl with the mayo mixture. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated, allowing the flavors to meld while you prepare the rolls.

5. Open all the sandwich rolls and drizzle the insides with extra virgin olive oil, then squeeze a bit of lemon juice over each.

6. Place the rolls on a baking sheet, with the inside surfaces facing down, and toast them in the preheated oven until golden brown.

7. Once the rolls are nicely toasted, remove them from the oven and place the bottoms on serving plates.

8. Generously spoon the shrimp salad mixture onto each roll bottom, spreading it evenly.

9. Top each sandwich with the remaining roll halves, slightly off-center to showcase the colorful shrimp salad filling.

10. Garnish your sandwiches with a sprinkle of fresh chives and a slice of lemon, if desired, for a vibrant finishing touch.

11. Serve your Champagne Grape and Shrimp Salad Sandwiches immediately, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!
