This sandwich is a combination of roasted shrimp, roasted broccoli slaw, and fresh avocado nestled inside a freshly baked bun.
Happy weekend, everyone! Have you got any special plans this weekend? I watched the first 30 mins of The Walking Dead, so I will be watching that all weekend. I’ll have nightmares about zombies, but I can’t stop.
Jason and I plan to take our 5-year-old niece to the dress rehearsal of her ballet. We will be annoying “parents” who will squish into the studio in order to get a good seat and watch Sherman do her cute ballet moves. She is indeed the cutest in her class, and I’m not biased. Maybe just a little.
While I wait, here are some sandwiches to enjoy on the weekend. The sandwich is made with roasted shrimp, avocados that are freshly sliced, and a broccoli slaw. The bread can be any type you like, but I recommend using a freshly baked roll. The bread quality must match the other ingredients, if not exceed them. Make sure you make at least two sandwiches – just one is not enough.
