Shrimp roll

Makes 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 1 pound jumbo (21/25) shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup small-dice celery
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • Pinch ground white pepper
  • 4 hot dog rolls (Eastern style—split on top)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Directions

  1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp, turn off the heat, and cover. After 2 minutes, remove the shrimp and place in an ice bath until cool.
  2. Cut each shrimp into four pieces.
  3. Combine the shrimp meat, celery, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Adjust seasoning.
  4. For each sandwich, open a roll, brush with butter, and toast on a griddle until golden brown.
  5. Divide the shrimp salad between the rolls and serve immediately.

Chef’s tip: Shrimp are sold in sizes or “counts” that are expressed in number per pound. For example, shrimp labeled “16/20” indicates the average number of shrimp per pound. Shrimp larger than 16/20 are denoted with a “U” for “under.” U-15 means that there are fewer than 15 shrimp per pound.
