Fried Shrimp Sandwiches with Lemon Aioli

Fried Shrimp Sandwiches with Lemon Aioli

Serves 4

You'll Need

⅓ cups all purpose flour
1 egg, beaten with 1 Tbsp water
1 cup panko or Italian breadcrumbs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 lbs frozen raw shrimp, thawed, peeled, deveined and rinsed
½ cup shredded radicchio
½ cup shredded romaine
½ cup grated carrots
Juice from 1 Meyer lemon
Zest of ½ Meyer lemon
½ cup mayonnaise
4 focaccia buns

Prep and Cook
  • Place the flour in a small bowl, the beaten egg in another and the panko in a third. Add ½ teaspoon each of the salt and pepper to the panko, and stir to combine.
  • Heat the oil over medium high heat until it’s hot and slightly bubbling.
  • Dredge the shrimp in the flour, dip it in the egg mixture and finally coat all sides with the panko. Fry until the shrimp are golden brown—about one and half minutes per side. Repeat with remaining shrimp and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Slaw

  • Toss the radicchio, romaine and carrots together in a medium sized bowl and drizzle with 1 Tbsp of the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and add more lemon to taste, if necessary. Set aside.

Lemon Aioli

  • In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, 1–2 Tbsp of the Meyer lemon juice and the lemon zest. Add ¼ tsp each of the salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
  • Slice open the focaccia buns and lightly coat each side with a smear of the lemon aioli. Top one side with five or six pieces of the fried shrimp, cover with a hearty scoop of the slaw and top with the remaining bun.
