Garlic Chili Shrimp Sandwich

I had some leftover garlic chili shrimp from the previous day’s lunch, so the next day – being home alone – I decided to turn it into this sandwich.

Garlic chili shrimp is one of my favorite quick meals. It’s a perfect example that having little time to cook does not mean we need to eat low-quality food. The same applies to fish. A fillet can be cooked in just 10 minutes. Meanwhile, we can prepare a salad and have a perfect lunch or dinner.

What went into this shrimp sandwich? Garden lettuce from a colleague, thousand island dressing, and beet microgreens. Because in spring, we definitely need greens!
