Fried Shrimp Sandwich

This was one of those epic sandwiches that was truly delightful to eat all the way through. Crispy fried shrimp (prawns) with a punchy taste in a soft sub, topped with onion, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and a special sauce.

The special sauce is a horseradish and sour cream sauce which complements the fresh salad and the crispy prawns really well.

We added two lawyers of cheese for good measure and we used cheap processed cheese which funnily enough just added a creamy meltyness rather than a strong taste. This just brought everything together.

The star of this show is the shrimp. To get a punchy flavour we first marinated them in a mixture of salt, paprika, lime and cumin. We then dusted them in plain flour with a pinch of salt and quickly fried them on a high heat to get them crispy.
