Make

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok with oil (portion for green beans) over medium-high heat. Add green beans and saute, letting the beans brown lightly on the bottom of the pan, until tender and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with ground coriander and some salt and pepper.
  2. Transfer green beans to a serving plate and return pan to medium-high heat.
  3. To heated pan add oil (portion for shrimp). Add shrimp and let cook on one side until opaque, ~3 minutes. Flip shrimp and season with Cajun seasoning, some salt, and some pepper. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes more, until shrimp is cooked through.
  4. Remove shrimp from heat and stir in green onions.
  5. Toast buns.
  6. Toss curtido (remember to reserve half if doubled). Season tonight’s portion with some salt and pepper.
  7. Spread buns with chili mayo and then fill with curtido and shrimp.
  8. Serve hoagies with green beans on the side and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top of everything. If you have any chili mayo left, dip green beans in it. Enjoy!
