Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the buffalo sauce until well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let this marinade for 10 minutes.
- While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the blue cheese dressing in a separate bowl. Mix the mayonnaise and crumbled blue cheese together until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through.
- While the shrimp cooks, toast the bread slices until golden brown.
- Spread the prepared blue cheese dressing generously on one side of each toasted bread slice.
- Layer lettuce and tomato slices on two of the bread slices. Top with the buffalo shrimp.
- Place the remaining bread slices on top to complete the sandwiches.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!
Tips
- For a lighter version, you can use whole grain bread and Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the dressing. If you like it extra spicy, feel free to add more buffalo sauce.
