Slice into 4 servings
1 pound cooked, shelled ad deveined medium sized shrimp
1 tablespoon fresh mayonnaise
1 tablespoon tarragon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon of grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon of crushed cumin seed
1/4 tsp coarsely, cracked black pepper

2 medium tomatoes, sliced
Dill pickle slices
Combine your first ten ingredients in a bowl and let sit for 4 hours. Then slice your French Bread in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inside of the bottom half of the loaf and toast the shell. Take your shell out of the oven and butter it up real good. Place your shrimp mixture in the bread shell while it is still warm. Put your pickle and tomato slices on top of that.
Then put your top back on the loaf and warm the whole thing in the oven.
