• Baguette - 2 pieces
• Shrimp (peeled and deveined) - 200 grams
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Shallots (finely chopped) - 1 medium
• Egg - 1 large
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a food processor, combine the shrimp, garlic, shallots, egg, fish sauce, cornstarch, black pepper, and cilantro. Pulse until a smooth mixture forms.
2. Shape the shrimp mixture into small patties, about 5 cm in diameter.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the shrimp patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the baguettes by cutting them open lengthwise without slicing all the way through.
5. Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette, then layer with lettuce, cucumber slices, and carrot.
6. Once the shrimp patties are cooked, place them inside the baguette on top of the vegetables.
7. Drizzle chili sauce over the shrimp patties as desired, then close the baguette and serve immediately.
