Shrimp Salad Roll

The Shrimp Salad Roll is a fresh, handheld sandwich inspired by the classic New England lobster roll, typically featuring tender, chilled shrimp tossed in a light, creamy dressing and served in a soft, split-top bun. Common ingredients include mayonnaise or a yogurt-based dressing, celery, lemon juice, and fresh herbs like dill or chives, all nestled in a buttery, toasted roll. This dish is a popular summer staple in coastal regions of the United States, particularly in New England and the Pacific Northwest.
