Grilled Shrimp Rolls on Brioche Buns

Grilled Shrimp Rolls on Brioche Buns are a delicious and elevated take on the traditional lobster roll. Instead of lobster, this version features juicy jumbo shrimp that are grilled to perfection, then tossed in a tangy, creamy dressing made with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a hint of hot sauce. The mix is balanced with the crunch of celery and the freshness of scallions and chives. Served in buttery, toasted brioche hot dog buns, this summer-inspired dish is easy to prepare, incredibly flavorful, and sure to be a hit at your next gathering or outdoor cookout. Whether you serve them as a quick weeknight dinner or alongside your favorite picnic sides, these shrimp rolls are a showstopper that delivers both comfort and elegance.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• ¾ cup mayonnaise

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon hot sauce

• 2 scallions, thinly sliced

• 1 celery stalk, finely diced

• 1 tablespoon minced chives

• 1½ pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

• Olive oil

• Kosher salt

• 4 brioche hot dog buns

• Garnishes: minced chives, sliced scallions, flaky sea salt
  
  

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to high heat.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Whisk until smooth, then fold in the scallions, celery, and chives. Chill the dressing while you prepare the shrimp.

3. Pat the shrimp dry and toss them with a light drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt. Place them on the hot grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until slightly charred and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the grill and let them cool slightly.

4. Turn the grill heat down to low. Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill until golden and warm.

5. Roughly chop each shrimp into 2 to 3 bite-sized pieces. Add the shrimp to the chilled mayonnaise dressing and toss until evenly coated.

6. Spoon the shrimp mixture generously into the toasted brioche buns. Garnish with additional chives, scallions, and a touch of flaky sea salt.

7. Serve immediately while the buns are warm and the shrimp salad is cool.
