MMMMMMmmmm !!!Great lunch here !!! Left out the hot sauce though. Made on our panimi grill. Very quick , and filling. Easy and delicious. Made for Gimme 5.

Delish! Quick and easy to make too. I couldn't get the shrimp to blacken, probably because I don't use a cast iron skillet. It was delicious without blackening. I served po boy style and it was easily enough for the three of us. I added the hot sauce and it really added a nice touch. Maybe a bit more next time... Thanks for posting this, it's very yummy!

This was a terrific weeknight meal! It went together very quickly and the flavors blended perfectly. I did choose to add the hot sauce and was glad I did--in fact, next time I will probably add even more. This sauce was so good I will double it next time. I made it as a po-boy but think it would be delicious as panini too. I wish I'd doubled the whole recipe as my DH and I scarfed it up. Thanks for another winner MarraMamba!

This recipe is quick, easy, and very tasty. I used a baguette vs making a panini. The dash of hot sauce really enhanced the flavor of the filling and the lemon juice added a fresh sun-shiney taste. A terrific week night meal. Thanks for sharing. Nick's Mom

Easy and fast to do once the shrimps are peeled lol My BF did it (so nice of him :) And I saw that I forgot to add the lemon juice (it's not written in the direction). I added hot sauce to mine and regiano parmigiana. I used a baguette and it was like a subway. Thanks :)
