# Top Tips:

01 -
  • The warm spiced shrimp against cool crisp vegetables creates that perfect temperature contrast that makes every bite interesting
  • It comes together in 25 minutes but tastes like something from a proper sandwich shop
  • The mayo mustard sauce is secretly good on so many other things too
02 -
  • Overcooked shrimp becomes rubbery and sad so watch them carefully and pull them off heat the moment they turn pink
  • The sauce can be made ahead and kept in the fridge for up to three days
  • Buttering the bread before toasting is that restaurant secret most people skip at home
03 -
  • Pat the shrimp completely dry before seasoning them so they sear instead of steam
  • Let the assembled sandwich sit for one minute before cutting so everything settles together
