Shrimp Bánh Mi

I love any kind of sandwich that is messy and full of vegetables.  I know it sounds silly but in my experience if a sandwich looks like I am going to need a few napkins then I know its going to be good!  Very quick to prepare and super satisfying with the sweet shrimp, earthy bok choy, topped with spiced pickled plums and crunchy carrots.  Oh yeah I forgot about the spicy greek yogurt sauce to add that bit of creaminess and bite!  Let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy our messy sandwich as much as I did!
