Summer Cooking Bucket List #1: Spicy Creole Tuna Melt

Part of my Summer Cooking Bucket List! I've never been a fan of tuna melts but recently, my palate told me to try again. I wanted to bring in the flavors of a Po Boy or a Louisiana style fried shrimp platter.

Hardly even a recipe. Taste as you go. My only measured ingredients were the creole seasoning (1.5 tbsp) and two spicy dill pickles.

Ingredients:

1 can Albacore Tuna

2 scallions, sliced

1 shallot diced

2 spicy dill pickles, chopped

hot smoked paprika

cayenne

1.5 tbsp creole seasoning (I'm partial to The Spice House's blend)

Squeeze of lemon juice

Mayo

Dijon

Worcestershire

A few generous splashes of Crystal Hot Sauce

shredded cheese of choice (I used pepperjack)

Slice of bread

Method:

1. Mix it all together. Pop it on your bread.

2. Throw it under the broiler.

3. Call it a day.
