A delightful shrimp sandwich with a zesty garlic lemon sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Slice the baguette lengthwise and hollow out some of the bread from the inside.
Removing some of the bread creates space for the filling and makes the sandwich less dense.
Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't burn by keeping the heat moderate.
Add minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter and stir.
Stir continuously to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender.
Mix in the chopped parsley and remove the skillet from heat.
Adding parsley at the end preserves its fresh flavor.
Fill the baguette with the shrimp and sauce mixture.
Distribute the shrimp evenly for a balanced sandwich.
If desired, press the sandwich in a panini press until lightly toasted.
Toasting adds a delightful crunch to the sandwich.
Serve the sandwich warm and enjoy.
Serve with a side of salad or chips for a complete meal.
