The Most Amazing Shrimp BLT Sandwich is the very best sandwich that we have ever had. It is an explosion of flavors, textures, and deliciousness!
Boys and girls, it was the best sandwich we have ever eaten. I immediately took notes of the flavors and textures that we experienced because I knew we would have to recreate it. Doesn’t everyone do that? I thought it would be difficult to even come close.
Don’t have time to make it now? Pin it for later!
I had a great start with the Balsamic Tomato Chutney recipe. It turned out even better than what I remembered, and it was such a great condiment, we were putting it on everything. Aoili is usually made from mayonnaise. John doesn’t really care for mayo so I used lite sour cream. I heavily infused it with sweet basil, and I don’t think this sandwich suffered by the switch. Lastly, I got the best tiger prawns that I could find in land-locked Nebraska and dusted them with my Homemade Blackened Seasoning Blend.

We go to Nepenthe several times a year. In fact my son worked there for awhile! They need to put this sandwich on their menu, but in the meantime I can enjoy your recipe!
We loved that place, Sandra! They were so nice and the food was amazing as was the margarita! You’re a lucky girl. We would be there a lot if we could.
I’d eat that sandwich and a whole pile of them until I hurt myself. Yum!

I just finished eating a BLT for lunch – wish I would have had some shrimp and your tomato chutney. I love everything shrimp so this will be a “must try” 🙂
Thank you, Judi! I know we wont have those tomatoes too much longer. I love the fall but not saying goodbye to my herbs and tomatoes.
I’m sitting in the courthouse praying they don’t call my name as a juror and when I saw and then read about this sandwich I wanted to make one immediately. Wow? The flavors and textures sound amazing. It looks so good. I have some tomatoes to use up and will try your chutney recipe. I can well imagine this being the best sandwich ever.
Thank you, Suzanne! That chutney is so good on so many things. I hope you didn’t get called up! I can remember doing that and then calling every day to see if I was still m the clear.
