Ingredients:

• Spice Mix
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons ground paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 48 medium shrimp, peeled and tails removed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2/3 cup onion-pepper relish (available at Harry & David's or specialty shops)12 slices toasted bread (good quality white bread)
• 1/2 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 1 chicken breast, cooked and sliced horizontally into very thin slices
• 12 slices bacon, fried to desired doneness

Method

In a small bowl mix together the ingredients for the spice mixture. Place cleaned shrimp in a glass bowl, making sure that they are reasonably dry. Toss with 3-4 tablespoons of the spice mixture, saving the remaining mixture for future use. Cover and chill up at least 1 hour or until needed. When ready to prepare, heat a 10 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Melt butter to sizzling point and add spiced shrimp. Saute until shrimp are curled, 3-5 minutes. In the meantime, mix the mayonnaise and onion-pepper relish in a small bowl. Spread 4 slices of toast with mayonnaise mixture. Top each slice with a layer of shrimp. Spread 4 more slices of toast with mayonnaise mixture and place on top of the shrimp, spread side down. Spread top side of these slices with mayonnaise mixture. Layer these slices with onion slices, chicken slices and bacon strips, trimming bacon to keep the stacks neat. Spread the last 4 slices of toast with mayonnaise mixture and place top the sandwiches, spread side down. Cut sandwiches diagonally once, and then again, creating triangles. Secure each triangle with a toothpick, if needed.

Notes: These are great served with a good Pinot Noir, such as Willamette Vineyards Full Cluster Pinot. I created this sandwich during the Hurricane Katrina national disaster in an effort to honor the Gulf Coast region.
