Part 2/8:
The key to this dish starts with quality ingredients. The recipe features approximately 1.25 pounds of peeled and deveined shrimp (size 26-30), with tails removed—though the tails can be saved and frozen for making seafood stock later. Fresh cherry tomatoes will top the sandwiches, adding a sweet and juicy contrast to the savory shrimp.
The idea stems from DJ's Clam Shack, a popular seafood chain on Long Island with several locations in Florida. Their lobster roll-inspired shrimp scampi is a favorite, but here, the twist involves using shrimp for half the price, topped with sliced tomatoes for added freshness and color, and served on warm brioche buns for a luxurious touch.
