Ingredients

  • 1 pouch New Orleans-Style BBQ Shrimp

  • 2-4 sandwich buns

  • 1 cup coleslaw mixture (pre-made or homemade)

  • ½ cup garlic aioli sauce

  • Butter for toasting buns

Directions

  1. Cook the New Orleans-style BBQ shrimp according to the package instructions.

  2. While the shrimp are cooking, lightly butter the insides of the sandwich buns. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buns, cut side down, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Once the buns are toasted, spread a generous layer of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Place a portion of the cooked shrimp on top of the sauce. Add a scoop of the coleslaw mixture on top of the Prime Shrimp. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich to complete your torta.

  4. Serve the shrimp tortas immediately, while the buns are still warm and the shrimp are hot. Pair with your favorite sides and enjoy the bold, zesty flavors of New Orleans right at home.
