Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with sumac, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  3. Add the cooked green peas to the shrimp and toss to combine.
  4. Slice the sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them in the pan or a toaster until golden-brown.
  5. Layer the sliced cucumber on the bottom half of each roll, followed by the shrimp mixture.
  6. Drizzle tahini over the shrimp and top with fresh herbs.
  7. Cap with the other half of the roll, cut in half to serve, and enjoy with the side salad of your choice.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with this sandwich! Swap out the shrimp for grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
For a spicier rendition, add chili flakes or sliced jalapeños.
Store any leftovers tightly wrapped in the fridge; they can be reheated gently in a frying pan.
Enjoy experimenting with the flavors and make it your own!
