  • 1 lb raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 celery rib diced
  • 2 green onions minced

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cut lemon in half and squeeze the juice out of a half in a small bowl and set aside for the filling.
  2. In a medium pot bring water to boil. Once boiling add the lemon halves, dill sprig, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add shrimp and boil until cooked. The shrimp will just be turning pink and opaque. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Once cooked remove shrimp from water and set aside to cool.
  5. Dice celery, green onions, chives, and dill.
  6. In a bowl add diced celery, green onions, chives, dill, mayo, reserved lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until combined.
  7. Add shrimp and mix to coat. At this point you can cover and refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors meld or serve right away on toasted buns.
  8. Brush the buns with butter- both in the inside and outside. Place buns on a baking sheet and toast by broiling on low for a few minutes. Watch the buns closely so they don't burn.
  9. Load toasted buns with shrimp salad and enjoy!
