Christmas Chili Shrimp Stacks

Christmas Eve traditions are a cherished part of the season that we look forward to every year. There's just something magical about gathering together to enjoy dishes so special we only put them on the table once a year. Sometimes, what makes the food so special isn't just the taste, but the chef who created it. The holiday season can make chefs out of family members who prefer avoid the kitchen during all other times of the year — like grandpa! In our family, it wasn't Christmas unless Grandpa made his famous Christmas Chili Shrimp Stacks — full of creamy seaside flavor with just the right amount of heat. Simply coat the shrimp with garlic powder, salt, chili powder, cumin and olive oil and cook through. Combine Smith's Sour Cream, chipotle pepper, dill weed and lime juice, then spread on sandwich rolls lined with lettuce leaves and bacon slices. Layer in the cooked shrimp, then top with cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with dill weed.
