Smoked avocado: Cut avocados in half lengthwise. Remove pit and generously squeeze the juice of 1 lemon all over the avocado meat. Using 1 1/2 tablespoons of apple wood chips, smoke according to your stovetop smoker’s directions for 30 minutes over medium low heat. After 30 minutes, remove the avocados from the smoker, rub with a bit more lemon juice and set aside. While the avocado is smoking, fry the bacon, make the aioli, dress the arugula and cook the shrimp.
Lemon aioli: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, garlic, dijon and the zest of 1/2 a lemon. Add in the juice of 1/2 the lemon and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Arugula: In a medium bowl, toss together arugula, olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lemon juice, sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Set aside.
Shrimp: Combine shrimp, 2 tablespoons olive oil and harissa. Grill just until no longer opaque. Set aside.
Assemble the sandwiches: Split the bread lengthwise and lightly butter. Broil until toasted, about 3-4 minutes. Spread lemon aioli on one side of the bread. Top with 1/4 of the shrimp and two strips of bacon. Top with 1/4 of the arugula. On the other half of the bread, spread 1/4 of the avocado. Sprinkle with course sea salt and top the other half of the sandwich.
