How to Make Shrimp And Chorizo Sandwich

  1. Bring 2 cups of heavily salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  2. Add 1 pound of shrimp and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let sit for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Check one shrimp by cutting it open to ensure it's cooked through. If not, let it poach for a few more minutes.
  4. Once cooked, drain and rinse the shrimp under cold water. Chop into 1/4-inch dice.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to make the aioli.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the diced shrimp, 4 ounces of cooked chorizo, chopped (about 1/2 cup), 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and half of the aioli.
  7. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  8. Slice your rolls in half. Fill each roll with the shrimp and chorizo mixture.
  9. Top with a handful of arugula (about 1 cup).
  10. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
