❤️ Personal Touch:

This sandwich is for the days you want something bold and fresh — not just any lunch, but a little escape to a beach café in every bite. The chipotle brings a smoky heat, the avocado mellows it out, and the shrimp is just chef's kiss. It’s been my go-to recipe for impressing guests or pampering myself.

💡 Tips & Twists:

  • No shrimp? Use grilled paneer or tofu with the same seasoning.

  • Add a fried egg on top for a brunchy twist.

  • Want it lighter? Use lettuce wraps instead of bread.
