• 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
• 3/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails off
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann’s
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce
• 4 best-quality hot dog buns, split part way and warmed
• 1 cup sweet creamy cole slaw, drained well

Method

In a large nonstick skillet heat butter or oil over moderately high heat until hot.  Add shrimp, and salt and pepper to taste.  Stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp turns pink and opaque throughout.  Transfer shrimp as they’re cooked to plate and cool to room temperature.  Cut each shrimp in half crosswise, transfer to a bowl and stir in mayonnaise.

In a small bowl whisk together the ketchup, the Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco.  Spread mixture on cut sides of buns, divide shrimp mixture between them and top with cole slaw.  Serve warm or at room temperature
