Do you like the taste of the spicy mayo sushi rolls, but 8 rolls is not enough to satisfy you for lunch? I have an alternative way to get those flavors that I sometimes pack for lunch – I make a Spicy Mayo Baby Shrimp Sandwich.
This is barely a recipe and more just a guideline, and takes only minutes. In this sandwich form it is more filling and only a fraction of the price of sushi, but I still get my craving fulfilled. This recipe makes 4 sandwiches.
Ingredients:
- 8 pieces of bread – you can see here I used Dave’s Killer Bread 21 Grain
- ~ 1/2 pound of cooked baby shrimp
- 1/4 cup of spicy mayo (you can mix 1/4 cup mayo with 1 tablespoon Sriacha hot sauce and an optional 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Taste and add more Sriracha hot sauce as needed to your desired level of spiciness. Or you can even be lazy and if your grocery store has a sushi section, they often have a small container of spicy mayo you can buy. F often does this when he gets cucumber rolls to help punch up his vegetarian rolls).
- Optional – slices of Swiss cheese for the sandwich
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, toss the cooked baby shrimp with the spicy mayo sauce. Spoon into the sandwich. You can optionally add cheese or lettuce if you want (I used Swiss).
- Eat.
Yep, that’s it.
Are you a fan of the spicy sauce on sushi?
I love easy sushi-hacks for home! And who are we kidding, I just love a great shrimp dish!
This is such a good idea! I bet it’d be phenomenal over rice, too – like a sushi roll without all the trouble of rolling it. 😉
I like how you think!
This . . . is actually a recipe I could concoct. And I’ve never made a shrimp sandwich before, but now I’m adamant on doing so. Thanks for that. (Confession: All I know how to do is make sammiches.)
This is a super easy sandwich, ridiculously easy!
What a great, easy recipe. And perfect with Oregon’s great baby shrimp.
It’s amazing how fresh and affordable the shrimp is here
so simple and easy to do, especially for a little tea party or something.

Yes, this would be so cute on little rolls or smaller cut up tea sandwiches1
This looks amazing! I love shrimp salad type sandwiches.
There’s lots of pork sandwiches out there and I wish I saw more seafood sandwiches offered for lunch beyond the regular tuna or salmon
What a great idea Pech! Perfect for a work lunch!
When I photographed this, it was actually just outside my work cafeteria!
I’m not a shrimp person, but my husband would love this!
This is very easy to make in small quantities!
Now with gluten-free bread, this would be perfect. 🙂 Dave’s Killer Bread is great too, if you can eat wheat.
Of course swap out the bread for whatever your favorite or your diet requires – I happen to like seedy bread.
I knew there was a reason I liked you, Pech! I love shrimp, in all its forms, and have had many a baby shrimp sandwich, prepared in much the same way. Love it!
Glad to know I’m not the only one craving the taste but wanting a lot of it so graduated it to a sandwich!
that looks yummy Pech! I love shrimp so much. I will try that at home. xx
Thanks! Shrimp is one of my favorite seafoods, after lobster and dover sole
Shrimp sandwich!??!?! Count me in!!!!
Thanks for visiting!
