This is an easy recipe that makes an awesome lunch or dinner. All it takes is some large shrimp bathing in a warm bath of butter to get them to have that same buttery soft consistency of well cooked lobster and you’re good to go!

The sauce for these shrimp rolls is pretty standard – lemon juice, mayo, some fresh chopped celery and dill, and my favorite Old Bay Seasoning.

Seriously, love this stuff. Goes amazing on chips too!

As much as I LOVE LOBSTER ROLLS, they sure aren’t the cheapest thing to make if you’re not on the east coast.

And I’m guessing there. I just assume lobster has to be cheaper when you’re closer to Maine.

And when lobster and shrimp have such a simliiar taste and texture, shrimp rolls are a no-brainer.

The trick is not to cook the shrimp on too high of heat. Just let them simmer on low in a bath of butter, strain from the butter and chop up into bite size bits.

Mix them up in the mayo lemon mixture and stuff in a roll. You may just stop using lobster for these sandwiches from here on out!
