Firecracker Shrimp Roll with Crab Aioli
Inspired by a shrimp po' boy with crab mayo seen on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," I decided to create an extra spicy recipe—firecracker shrimp roll with crab aioli—and give it a July Fourth-friendly name. The result is an explosively flavored combination of hot, crunchy shrimp and cold crabby mayo—it was one of the best things I've had in a long time, and that's after eating it barely warm. For best results, enjoy this just as soon as it's safe to eat, in all its crunchy glory.
