Bake the Bacon Lay bacon strips on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 15–20 minutes or until crispy. Drain on paper towels. 2. Prep the Shallots Slice shallots thin and fry in avocado oil over medium-high heat until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper. 3. Cook the Shrimp In a bowl, season shrimp with all dry seasonings. Heat avocado oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side. Add chili crisp in the final minute and toss to coat. 4. Toast the Bread Spread softened butter on each slice of multigrain bread and toast in a pan or toaster until golden and crisp. 5. Assemble the Sandwich * Spread mayo on both slices of toasted bread. * On one slice, layer lettuce, tomato slices, crispy shallots, and avocado. * On the other slice, add crispy bacon and spicy shrimp. * Close the sandwich and slice in half. 💥 Pro Tip: Let the shrimp rest for 1–2 minutes before adding them to the sandwich so the bread stays crisp and doesn’t get soggy. #BLT #shrimpsrecipe #BLTRecipe #SpicySandwich #shrimp #sandwichrecipe #HomeCooking #cooking #quickmeals #cajunfood
