- Grill the shrimp skewers over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes total, flipping once halfway through. Careful not to overcook. Add the baguette to the grill and toast.
- Remove the shrimp from the grill and add to the butter sauce, discarding the skewers. Toss to coat the shrimp in the butter sauce.
- Spread both sides of bread with the Sweet Pickle Mayonnaise and top evenly with the shrimp, shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Slice the baguette in fourths, if desired, and serve immediately. .
