Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon chopped red onion
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 New England-style hot dog rolls, split and toasted
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for toasting rolls)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, gently combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, red onion, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Step 2: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the mayonnaise mixture and toss gently to coat. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Step 3: While the shrimp marinates, toast the hot dog rolls. Brush the cut sides of the rolls with melted butter and toast lightly in a toaster oven or under a broiler until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Step 4: Divide the shrimp salad evenly among the toasted rolls.
- Step 5: Serve immediately and enjoy your East Coast Shrimp Rolls! Optional: Garnish with a lemon wedge and extra Old Bay seasoning.
Notes
- For best flavor, prepare the shrimp salad ahead and chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully develop.
- Reheat gently in a microwave for 15-20 seconds to warm the shrimp salad if needed, avoiding overcooking.
- Serve your East Coast Shrimp Rolls with a side of crisp potato chips and a refreshing coleslaw for a true New England seafood feast.
- To prevent the rolls from becoming soggy, toast them thoroughly before adding the shrimp salad; a slightly crispier roll holds up better to the moisture.
