Steps

1Make the Seasoning: If making homemade blackened seasoning, add 1/2 tsp. Smoked Paprika, 1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt, 1/4 tsp. Onion Powder, 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder, 1/4 tsp. Dried Thyme ,1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper ,1/4 tsp. freshly cracked Black Pepper ,1/4 tsp. Ground Cumin ,1/4 tsp. Dried Oregano together in a small bowl and stir until combined.
2Season the Shrimp: Pat 8 oz. fresh, large Shrimp very dry and toss with 1 tbsp. Blackened Seasoning and 1/2 tsp. Cajun Seasoning until evenly coated.
3Cook the Shrimp: Heat 2 tsp. Olive Oil a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1–2 minutes per side until mostly cooked through.
4Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 1 tbsp. Unsalted Butter and 2-3 tbsp. Light Beer to the pan. Let the butter melt and bubble for 30–60 seconds, then toss or spoon the buttery beer juices over the shrimp and turn the heat off from beneath the pan.Add Butter + Beer:
5Make the Sandwiches. Split each roll in half, keeping one long side intact. Spread Mayonnaise all over the inside of each roll, then divide 1 cup Shredded Lettuce, 1 large Tomato (sliced), 8 slices Dill Pickles, and the shrimp between the sandwiches. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the shrimp, then top with Hot Sauce (if using), and serve!
