Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a griddle over medium heat.

For the Rock Shrimp Roll: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lemon, bay leaves, garilc and peppercorns. Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set it near the stove. Cook the rock shrimp in the water until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pot and place immediately in the ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Place cooked shrimp in a large bowl and stir in mayonnaise, celery, lemon zest and juice, celery seed and dill. Season with salt and set aside.
Brush the sides and tops of the buns with mayo. Place the rolls on the griddle and toast until golden brown on the top and sides. Remove toasted buns to a clean work surface and fill with the shrimp salad and serve.
Tip: To pack a cooler, place the shrimp salad in a small zip top bag over a large zip top bag with ice. Toast the buns and keep warm in a towel. Assemble once at the beach!
