  4. Toast the bread slices in the skillet until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
  6. Layer one slice with lettuce, followed by tomato slices, cooked shrimp, and crispy bacon.
  7. Top with the remaining slice of bread, mayo side down, to complete the sandwich.
  8. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicy kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the mayonnaise.
  • 💡 Experiment with different types of bread such as ciabatta or a toasted baguette for added texture and flavor.
  • 💡 Feel free to add sliced avocado for creaminess or pickles for an extra crunch.
