Ingredients
½ pound Frozen cooked cocktail shrimp, thawed, peeled, and deveined
1 8-oz can Yellow corn kernels, canned and drained
1 cup Black beans, canned, drained and rinsed
1 Celery stalk, diced
2 tablespoons Onion, chopped
2 tablespoons Reduced-fat mayonnaise
½ tablespoon Salt-free Caribbean citrus seasoning
8 slices Whole-grain bread slices
2 Tomatoes, sliced
4 leaves Bibb lettuce or leaf lettuce leaves
Directions
Coarsely chop the thawed shrimp into bite-sized pieces, leaving some texture and body in the mixture.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, drained corn kernels, rinsed black beans, diced celery, chopped onion, mayonnaise, and Caribbean citrus seasoning. Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Lay out 4 slices of whole-grain bread on a clean surface. Divide the shrimp salad mixture evenly among these 4 slices, spreading each portion to the edges of the bread.
Top each spread slice with tomato slices, a lettuce leaf, and a second slice of whole-grain bread. Press gently and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment if preparing ahead.
Comments
This recipe leans hard on North Carolina's coastal shrimp supply and hits the mark on availability—all ingredients are standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, or Walmart with no special trips required. At roughly $3.50 to $4.00 per serving, the cost is reasonable for a shrimp dish, though quality and freshness of the shrimp will make or break the budget. The stated 15 minutes is honest if you buy pre-cooked shrimp; if you're cooking raw shrimp, add five minutes and acknowledge you'll need to cool them first. The grapes mentioned in the title do not appear in the ingredient list—a red flag for recipe accuracy—and the confetti effect depends entirely on how finely you dice the vegetables, which is fussy for a weeknight but manageable. This is a same-night sandwich best eaten immediately, as the bread will wilt and mayo will weep by the next day.
