Tuna, Avocado, Parmesan. An amazing Accident

So, ive been trying to eat healthier lately ( its a halfway winning battle lol). I was overnighting at someones house, and in morning had to go to safeway for change for bus, so picked up something healthy. Well i knew id probably want a avocado and other fresh food, so went into produce. Saw a package of tuna, and decided to go for it. SO i had this idea of mixing it together, and on walk back i fumbled with idea. When i got back,. i went for it. Added some shredded freshish parmesan cheese and salt n pepper and BAM!. Quick, healthy, yummy. I amaze myself sometimes.

Spicy Shrimp Po'Boys

Spicy Shrimp Po’ Boys
Printer-Friendly Version
Yield: 4 sandwiches
Ingredients:
For the remoulade sauce:
½ cup plus 2 tbsp. light mayonnaise
2 tbsp. stone ground mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1½ tbsp. pickle juice
½ tsp. prepared horseradish
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
¼ tsp. hot paprika
Dash of hot sauce
For the sandwiches:
1 lb. medium-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. Cajun seasoning blend
1 baguette (or 4 sandwich rolls)
Shredded lettuce
Sliced tomato
Directions:
To make the remoulade sauce, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.  (If you don’t have a blender or food processor, you can just mix it in a small bowl with a spoon.)  Adjust seasonings to taste.  Chill until ready to use.
To prepare the sandwiches, combine the shrimp with the olive oil and cajun seasoning in a medium bowl.  Toss well to coat the shrimp.  Heat a grill pan to medium-high and grill the shrimp just until opaque, about 2 minutes per side.  Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Slice the baguette into 4 servings, and cut horizontally to open the bread.  Spread some of the remoulade sauce onto both pieces of the bread.   Layer the bottom slice of bread with shrimp, then top with lettuce and tomato as desired.  Top with the remaining piece of bread and serve immediately.
