4. While the shrimp is baking, dice and prepare vegetables. Set aside until ready to assemble sandwich.

5. To prepare the sandwich, cut the baguettes in half (2 small baguettes should make 4, 4- 5 inch sandwiches). Cut the sandwich sized portions in half, cutting along the side of the baguette in order to create and open-face sandwich.

6. Scoop out the bready inside of each sandwich in order to create room for the vegetables and shrimp.

7. Spread ½ T. of mayonnaise onto each open face sandwich. Sprinkle in even amounts of cabbage and red onion followed by a slice of tomato.

8. The shrimp should be ready to handle at this point. Remove tail and add 3-4 shrimp per sandwich (on top or along side of the tomato).
