Shrimp Roll

By minicoopercraig

Dead simple and insanely delicious, lobster rolls are one of America's greatest food inventions. Problem is, lobster meat is pricey (about $35 a pound as of this), and restaurants too often drown out the fresh lobster flavor with an abundance of mayo and melted butter. We sub in ultra-lean shrimp-one of nature's best sources of immune-boosting, blood sugar-stabalizing zine-for the lobster and go east on the ingredients, letting the shrimp simply speak for themselves. The result: an amazing sandwich for half the calories and less than a quarter the price.

Ingredients

• 1 lb cooked shrimp
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 1/2 small red onion, minced
• 2 Tbsp minced chives
• 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp hot sauce (like Sriracha)
• Salt to taste
• 4 hot dog buns (top-loading buns from Pepperidge Farm are best)

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the shrimp, celery, onion, chives, mayo, lemon juice, hot sauce and salt together in a bowl, stirring to carefully incorporate.
Heat a cast iron skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add the hot dog buns and toast until the sides are nicely browned.
Divide the shrimp mixture among the rolls. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
