Servings 6 rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb cooked extra large shrimp, chopped
  • 1/3 cup vegan or regular mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 2 tbsp celery, chopped
  • 2 tbsp pickle brine
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 6 large green leaf lettuce leaves
  • 6 brioche hot dog buns
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • potato chips, for serving

Instructions
 

  • If your shrimp is not pre-cooked: bring a large pot of water to a boil. Throw in the raw shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then toss the shrimp into a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes. Dry the shrimp well and chop.
  • Add the shrimp to a large bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, pickles, celery, pickle brine, hot sauce, Old bay, dill, garlic, onion, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the shrimp is very creamy and fully coated.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Set each bun in the skillet and toast for 1 minute per side, until golden.
  • Stuff a lettuce leaf into each roll, then add gobs of the chopped shrimp mixture. Garnish with fresh chill and serve with potato chips!
