This is my favorite sandwich - an open faced shrimp sandwich. In various sizes and styles, these expensive sandwiches are served at almost every café establishment. The best part about this shrimp sandwich is that it is so much cheaper to make at home than it is to buy at the cafeterias.

Twenty five years ago, I had my appendix removed. After surgery, my diet consisted of only liquids for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I wasn’t allowed to eat real food for five days. So, when I was allowed to eat solid food again, my husband bought me a large shrimp sandwich from the hospital’s cafeteria. I can honestly say this was the best sandwich I have ever had.
