Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.Wash and dry all produce.In Step 4, use this garlic guide to determine what garlic level you prefer (dbl each measurement for 4 ppl): 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp extra! Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut cucumbers in half, lengthwise, then into 1/2-inch thick half-moons. Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towel.
Toss shrimp with 3 tbsp mayo (dbl for 4 ppl) and half the Cajun seasoning in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Combine panko and remaining Cajun seasoning in a shallow dish. Working with 4 shrimp at a time, toss into panko mixture, then transfer to a baking sheet (NOTE: Use two baking sheets for 4ppl). Repeat in batches until all shrimp are coated.
Drizzle 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) over shrimp. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 1 tbsp oil per baking sheet.) Bake in the middle of the oven, until cooked through and golden-brown, 14-15 min.** (NOTE: for 4 ppl bake in the middle and bottom of the oven).
Meanwhile, cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss ciabatta pieces with 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) on another baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Toast in top of oven, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden, 2-4 mins. Meanwhile, stir together ketchup, sweet chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 tsp garlic (dbl for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference Garlic Guide.) Set aside.
