Directions

Cook the New Orleans-style BBQ shrimp according to the package instructions.
While the shrimp are cooking, lightly butter the insides of the sandwich buns. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buns, cut side down, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once the buns are toasted, spread a generous layer of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Place a portion of the cooked shrimp on top of the sauce. Add a scoop of the coleslaw mixture on top of the Prime Shrimp. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich to complete your torta.
Serve the shrimp tortas immediately, while the buns are still warm and the shrimp are hot. Pair with your favorite sides and enjoy the bold, zesty flavors of New Orleans right at home.

Recipe Note

Homemade Coleslaw: If you prefer homemade coleslaw, simply combine shredded cabbage and carrots with a dressing made of mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Adjust the quantities to taste.

Homemade Garlic Aioli: To make homemade garlic aioli, combine mayonnaise with minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Adjust the garlic quantity to your preference for a stronger or milder garlic flavor.

Spicy Kick: If you like your food extra spicy, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the garlic aioli or mix some sliced jalapeños into the coleslaw.

Healthier Option: For a lighter version, use whole grain buns and opt for a yogurt-based dressing instead of the aioli.
