Cooking StepsHow to cook Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich step by step

  1. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 1

    Prepare all ingredients as shown.

  2. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 2

    Melt the butter in a skillet.

  3. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 3

    Pat the shrimp dry and add to the pan over medium-low heat.

  4. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 4

    Flip halfway through and cook until both sides turn pink. Add half the black pepper (1 g) and salt (1 g). Toss to coat, then remove from heat and set aside.

  5. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 5

    Squeeze 5 g of mayonnaise onto one side of each slice of sourdough — just one side. Heinz mayonnaise has a higher egg yolk content, delivering a rich, creamy, and savory flavor that pairs perfectly with all kinds of ingredients.

  6. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 6

    Spread the mayonnaise evenly. This step seasons the bread and creates a “waterproof layer” so that any toppings added later won’t make the bread soggy — a key step for a great sandwich!

  7. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 7

    Place the bread mayonnaise-side up, and put the other side (no mayo) down into the same skillet used for the shrimp. Cook over low heat in the residual butter until lightly toasted and fragrant, then remove from heat.

    Step 8

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.

  9. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 9

    Add the remaining 1 g black pepper and 1 g salt, and squeeze juice from a quarter of the lemon over the avocado.

  10. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 10

    Mash the avocado flesh and mix the seasonings evenly.

  11. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 11

    With the mayonnaise side facing up, spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on each slice of bread. Heinz mayonnaise is rich in Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids — paired with avocado, it’s an extra nutritional boost!

  12. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 12

    Top with the cooked shrimp and a squeeze of lemon juice.

  13. Quick & Nutritious Breakfast | Avocado Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Step 13

    For the final touch, drizzle the remaining 10 g of mayonnaise on top. The Heinz mayonnaise squeeze bag keeps it fresh, is easy to use and reseal, and the built-in piping tip creates a decorative star pattern — a secret weapon for beautiful plating!
