Crispy Shrimp Banh Mi
Preparation
For the Crispy Shrimp: Cook in a medium cast- iron skillet add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add shrimp and sauté on one side, until golden brown, about 2 minutes, flip and cook for 1 more minute.
For the Basil Lime Aioli: In a small bowl, add garlic, lime zest, basil leaves, and mayonnaise. Stir to combine.
For the Crunchy Cabbage Slaw: In a medium bowl, add cabbage and jalapeno, and toss together to combine. In a small bowl, add the rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt. Drizzle over slaw, toss to combine.
Quick Pickle: In a small bowl, add red onion and toss with lime juice and sugar. Set aside until ready to use.
To Assemble: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cut a slit lengthwise in the demi baguette and place on a sheet tray. Place in the oven until toasted, about 3-5 minutes.
To Prepare the Sandwiches: Spread the basil lime aioli onto a demi baguette, add 1/4 of the cooked shrimp. Add the slaw. Top with chopped peanuts. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
Tip: Instead of a baguette, serve sandwich on a hot dog bun or sandwich roll!
