Open Face Shrimp Rolls
By renbeard
Lobster tails might break the bank, and whole lobsters are too much trouble to prepare, but precooked frozen shrimp make a swimming substitute for bite-size “lobster” rolls just like you’d find in New England.

Ingredients
- 1 pound precooked shrimp, thawed
- 1/4 cup quality mayonnaise
- 4 hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons chives or scallions
- Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Pinch kosher salt
- Smoked paprika or cayenne pepper, for garnish

Preparation
Step 1
Remove the tails from the shrimp and roughly chop the bodies. Mix with the mayonnaise, chives or scallions, kosher salt, and lemon juice until well combined.
Step 2
Pull the hot dog buns apart, separating each half, and cut each into 4 pieces. Top with a spoonful of shrimp salad and garnish each with a sprinkling of paprika. Serve immediately.
The shrimp salad can be made up to 36 hours in advance.
