Ingredients
Scale
For the Shrimp Salad:
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon celery, finely chopped (optional)
For Assembling:
- 4 brioche buns
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for toasting the buns
- Lettuce or arugula (optional, for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the Shrimp:
- In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the shrimp and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.
- Remove from heat and let the shrimp cool slightly before chopping them into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Shrimp Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, and dill (if using).
- Add the chopped shrimp and mix until everything is well coated. If you like a bit of crunch, fold in the finely chopped celery. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toast the Brioche Buns:
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Cut the brioche buns in half and toast them, cut side down, in the skillet until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Shrimp Rolls:
- Place a layer of lettuce or arugula (if desired) on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun.
- Spoon a generous amount of the shrimp salad onto each bun.
- Top with the other half of the toasted brioche bun.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh burst of citrus.
Notes
- You can substitute the shrimp with crab meat or lobster for a different take on these rolls.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a little hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the shrimp salad.
- These rolls can be served chilled or at room temperature, making them great for picnics or packed lunches.
- If you don’t have fresh dill, dried dill can be used as a substitute, but fresh will provide the best flavor.
