A super-delicious, cool, light, yummy sandwich!!
These are SO easy to make and even easier to eat! My husband and I both loved them. The cornichons (gerkins) add a nice bit of sweet/tangyness, the mustard adds just a bit of spice and depth. There is a very small amount of mayo to hold it all together-only 3 tbsp for 1 pound of shrimp. I served mine with chips and kosher dill pickle spears.

So glad you liked them!
All this time later, I finally found cornichons in my grocery store; in the internatiomal aisle!

Fantastic! My store has a pickle section with tons of different varieties in barrels that you put into a container so I was glad to only have to buy as much as I needed. Nice 🙂
