Make
- 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.
- Transfer green beans to a serving plate and return pan to medium-high heat.
- 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.
- Remove shrimp from heat and stir in green onions.
- Toast buns.
- Toss curtido (remember to reserve half if doubled). Season tonight’s portion with some salt and pepper.
- Spread buns with chili mayo and then fill with curtido and shrimp.
- 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!

Delish! Healthy, colorful, kicky and fun — this is a trademark Cook Smarts meal (especially with the use of the curtido twice this week). We used half mayo and half Greek yogurt to lighten the sauce a smidge.

I did add a tsp extra chili garlic into my mayo but overall thought this was a super tasty dish. My husband I and I both enjoyed the contrast of sour from the curtido with spicy from the shrimp and mayo.
0 HelpfulGood sandwich. Used trader joe's soy Italian sausages and would use a different kind next time since the flavor didn't really go well but that's not a fault of the recipe.
0 HelpfulReplaced the cabbage and carrots with coleslaw mix because the store didn’t have red cabbage, which turned out to be for the best since it cut out so much prep.
0 Helpfuladded extra chili garlic sauce to the mayo but it was quick and delicious. used coleslaw mix for the curtido with pickled jalepenos. loved the green beans too.
0 HelpfulVery tasty! All of the flavors combined to make something awesome. We halved the jalapeño and took a few shortcuts (pre-cooked shrimp, frozen chopped green beans, slaw mix).
