TRIPLE DECKER GRILLED SHRIMP BLT WITH AVOCADO AND CHIPOTLE MAYO

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Puree until smooth with a stick blender. Alternately, you can use a food processor to puree the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble sandwiches.
• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Toss the shrimp in a bowl with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 3 minutes on each side.
• To assemble sandwiches: Spread prepared mayonnaise dressing generously on 1 slice of bread. Arrange half of the shrimp and avocado slices on top. Place another slice of bread over the avocado, and spread another layer of the dressing. Top with a lettuce leaf and 2 slices of tomato followed by a third slice of bread. Repeat with the remaining ingredients for the second sandwich.

TRIPLE DECKER GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Butter two pieces of bread on one side, and place next to each other in the skillet. These are the foundation slices for two sandwiches. Place a slice of cheddar on each piece of bread in the skillet, and arrange tomato slices in a single layer on each. Butter two more slices of bread, and place them butter side up over the tomato slices. When bottom of each sandwich is golden brown, use a spatula to carefully turn each sandwich. Now place a slice of provolone on top of each sandwich, and 1-2 slices of bacon. Top with the final slice of provolone. Butter two additional slices of bread and place them, butter side up, on top of each sandwich. Again, when the bottom of each sandwich is golden brown, use a spatula to carefully turn each sandwich. You may need your fingers to keep the sandwich intact while turning. Now place a slice of swiss on each sandwich, then a layer of bacon, then the final layer of swiss. Butter the final two slices of bread and place them, butter side up, on top of each sandwich. When the bottom is golden brown, use a spatula to carefully turn each sandwich. You will almost certainly need to use your fingers to keep the sandwich intact while turning. Cook until golden brown. Remove sandwiches to a cutting board, and cut on the diagonal to create thick, layered triangle slices, and serve. Variation: Sprinkle Italian Seasoning on the butter sides before frying, for added flavor and great aroma. Dill pickles and tomato soup are great alongside this beauty.
