Directions
- Preheat the barbecue or possibly grill.
- Sprinkle the vegetable oil over the shrimp. Grill the shrimp, about 1 1/2 min on each side. Don't overcook. Drain and cut each shrimp in half lengthwise.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the oil. Sweat the shallots for about 2 min. Don't brown. Deglaze the pan with the wine and vinegar and reduce slightly. Pour in the cream and reduce by half. Whisk in the butter and strain into a clean pan. Season with lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Keep hot.
- For each sandwich, spread a little mayonnaise on one slice of bread and arrange a little lettuce on top of the mayonnaise. Top with three slices of tomato and season with a little salt and pepper, and arrange the bacon on top of the tomatoes. Top with the second slice of bread, a thin layer of mayonnaise and a little lettuce. Heat the shrimp (10 halves) in the lemon butter and arrange on the lettuce. Top with the third slice of bread and cut in half. Serve immediately.
- Serve along with a light salad or possibly fresh French fries.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: I like to grill outside all year long and I have friends who live in Chicago and New York who feel the same way. There's nothing quite like the smell of barbecue smoke in the middle of a Northern winter!
- Wine Recommendation: If you're feeling adventurous try a full and oakey Chardonnay from Australia like Rosemount, Petaluma or possibly Lindemans. This dish goes great with a number of the micro brews, such as Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada or possibly the most popular Samuel Adams.
