Step 1: You will need:

  • 1 French baguette, cut in halves
  • 150 g shrimp, peeled & deveined
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Tabasco sauce
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • a pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • some salt and pepper
  • for the garnish:
  • some lettuce, shredded
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 frying pan
  • 1 bowl

Step 2: Prepare the spread

Mix the mayonnaise, Tabasco sauce and the lemon juice together and set it aside.

Step 3: Prepare the spice mix

In another bowl, briefly combine the paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, oregano and thyme and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Season the shrimp

Tip the shrimp into the bowl of spicy seasoning and stir them in to make sure that all they are all well-coated.

Step 5: Cook the shrimp

Heat the frying pan and add some oil. When the oil has heated up add the shrimp. When they appear to take on a reddish colour on one side, turn the shrimp over, then remove the pan from the heat.
