Shrimp Salad Roll

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Shrimp Salad Dressing

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, finely diced celery, finely chopped red onion, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. 2

   Combine and Chill the Salad

   • Pat the chopped cooked shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
   • Add the shrimp to the dressing and gently fold until the shrimp is evenly coated. Avoid overmixing to keep the shrimp texture intact.
   • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes. This step is crucial for allowing the flavors to meld together.
3. 3

   Toast the Buns

   • While the salad is chilling, prepare the buns. Brush the two flat outer sides of each split-top bun with melted butter.
   • Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
   • Place the buttered buns on the hot surface and toast for about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
4. 4

   Assemble and Serve

   • Remove the toasted buns from the skillet and let them cool for a minute.
   • Carefully open each bun. If using, place a leaf of butter lettuce inside to create a bed for the salad.
   • Spoon a generous amount of the chilled shrimp salad into each bun.
   • Serve immediately, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of extra dill or paprika. They pair perfectly with potato chips, coleslaw, or a simple green salad.
