Ingredients
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound peeled, deveined medium shrimp (fresh or frozen)
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
2 small stalks celery, chopped
¼ cup fresh chopped dill
2 tablespoons butter
4 split-top rolls
Fresh chopped chives, for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Shrimp: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set aside. Once the water is boiling, add the shrimp and cook until bright pink and fully opaque, about 3 minutes. Immediately transfer the shrimp to the ice bath to cool.
- Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Old Bay seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped celery and fresh dill.
- Prepare the Shrimp: Once the shrimp have cooled, remove them from the ice bath with a slotted spoon and pat dry. Chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces and add them to the dressing. Stir well to combine.
- Toast the Rolls: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the rolls in the skillet cut side down and toast until golden, about 30 seconds. Flip the rolls and toast the other side until golden, about 30 seconds more.
- Assemble the Shrimp Rolls: Transfer the toasted rolls to a serving platter or individual plates. Fill each roll with the shrimp salad and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Notes
- The shrimp salad can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
- To make it gluten-free, swap the split-top rolls for gluten-free buns.
- For extra creaminess, add sliced avocado to the rolls along with the shrimp salad.
- You can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a vegan mayo for a lighter or dairy-free version.
- If you don’t have Old Bay seasoning, you can use a combination of celery salt, paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
