"Great for any gathering, increase the amounts. A grill pan can be used just as effectively as the skewers. You'll need skewers, so put that on your list. A winner from Patrick and Gina Neely."

ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
²⁄₃ cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
2 lemons, juiced
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons hot sauce
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 French baguette, sliced lengthwise in 1/2

³⁄₄ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon capers, chopped

directions

Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
Arrange about 4 shrimp on each skewer and add to a 13 by 9-inch casserole dish. Don't crowd the shrimp onto the skewer. Allow a little space between, so they cook evenly.
Add the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cayenne, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste, to a measuring cup. Whisk well and pour over the shrimp in the casserole. Cover the dish and let the shrimp marinate in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the shrimp skewers over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes total, flipping once halfway through. Careful not to overcook. Add the baguette to the grill and toast.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and add to the butter sauce, discarding the skewers. Toss to coat the shrimp in the butter sauce.
Spread both sides of bread with the Sweet Pickle Mayonnaise and top evenly with the shrimp, shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Slice the baguette in fourths, if desired, and serve immediately. .
Butter Sauce:
Melt the butter in a small saucepan on the grill grates. Add the lemon juice, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Stir together with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Remove from heat and set aside. .
Sweet Pickle Mayonnaise:
Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
