- 12-inch bamboo skewers (soaked in water)
Ingredients – Grilled Shrimp
- 2 Tbsp Oil
- 2 Tbsp Blackened seasoning
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 4 sprigs, minced fresh oregano
- Remoulade
- ½ cup Greek yogurt, plain
- ¼ cup Light mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Pickle relish

- 1 Tbsp (more if desired) Sriracha sauce
- 2 Tbsp Ketchup
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- Juice from one lime

Preparation
First, combine the oil, blackened seasoning, garlic and chopped oregano. Skewer enough shrimp for each sandwich onto each bamboo skewer and coat with marinade, let rest. Next, mix together all ingredients of the remoulade and set aside. Place shrimp skewers on a hot grill and cook fully. While shrimp are cooking, place cut wheat rolls open side down onto grill to toast. Once shrimp is finished cooking, pull them off the skewer into a bowl and coat well with remoulade sauce.
To assemble each sandwich, place spinach, tomato slices, avocado slices and red onion slices on open roll, then add shrimp to top it off and enjoy!
