  • 1 tbsp Kikkoman® Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Kikkoman® Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tsp Gluten-Free Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce (optional, for heat)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon grated ginger

Shrimp Salad Mix (after cooking):

  • Cooked shrimp, chopped if desired
  • ½ cup shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • ¼ cup julienned carrots
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or green onion
  • 1–2 tablespoons Sriracha mayo (see below)

Sriracha Mayo:

  • ¼ cup mayo
  • 1–2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Optional: splash of soy sauce or sesame oil for umami

Bread Options:

  • Soft hoagie roll
  • Brioche or potato bun
  • Baguette (for a crispier bite)
  • Pita or flatbread (for a wrap-style)

Directions

Marinate & cook shrimp:

  1. Mix all marinade ingredients and toss with shrimp. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Cook in a hot skillet or grill pan for 1–2 minutes per side until shrimp are opaque and caramelized. Cool slightly.

Make the shrimp salad:

  1. In a bowl, mix cooked shrimp with cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and just enough sriracha mayo to coat. (Add more for creamier texture.)

Toast the bread:

  1. Lightly butter and toast your bread or roll for better texture and flavor.

Assemble the sandwich:

  1. Spread a layer of sriracha mayo on the bun.
  2. Pile on the hoisin soy shrimp salad mixture.
  3. Optional: add cucumber slices, pickled veggies, or extra greens.
  4. Serve immediately, with chips, pickled veggies, or a side salad.

Variation

  • Make it cold like a seafood roll (lobster roll style), or serve the shrimp warm with cool slaw.
  • Add crushed peanuts or crispy shallots for texture.
  • Want extra heat? Mix sambal oelek or chili crisp into the salad or mayo.
