Instructions
  1. Assemble shrimp marinade ingredients in gallon sized resealable bag, and add shrimp
  2. Marinade shrimp for 20 minutes
  3. Melt butter for butter sauce in a small ramekin or measuring cup in microwave
  4. Add lemon juice, hot sauce, and worcestershire to melted butter and stir. Set aside.
  5. Add all ingredients for sweet pickle mayonnaise in a small bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until needed (this step can even be done the night before)
  6. Grill shrimp on skewers or on/in a grill basket about five minutes or until pink–turning over once
  7. Toast baguette on grill or in toaster oven (Colleen would have preferred hers non-toasted, I like mine toasted–your call)

  9. Spread baguettes on both sides with sweet pickle mayonnaise and top evenly with shrimp, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomatoes.
