Instructions

Prepare the shrimp mixture

Prepare the shrimp mixture In a large bowl, combine the cooked Nordic shrimp, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, green onion, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined. Ensure the shrimp have reached an internal temperature of 145°F / 63°C by probing the thickest part of the shrimp before combining.

Pro tip: Use a light hand when mixing to avoid breaking up the shrimp too much.

Chill the mixture

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

Pro tip: Chilling also firms up the mixture, making it easier to fill the rolls.

Prepare the rolls

Before serving, slice open the hot dog buns and lightly butter the insides. Optionally, toast them on a hot skillet until golden brown.

Pro tip: Toasting adds a nice crisp texture that complements the creamy filling.

Assemble the sandwiches

Remove the shrimp mixture from the refrigerator and give it a quick stir. Fill each prepared bun generously with the shrimp mixture.

Pro tip: Use a spoon to carefully mound the mixture into the buns for even distribution.

Serve immediately

Serve the guédilles on a platter or individual plates, garnished with a sprig of dill if desired.

Pro tip: Pair with a crisp salad or coleslaw for a complete meal.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Nordic shrimp guédilles with a side of crisp salad or tangy coleslaw to round out the meal. These sandwiches pair wonderfully with a chilled white wine or a refreshing iced tea. To make ahead, prepare the shrimp mixture and store it in the refrigerator for up to a day. Assemble the sandwiches just before serving to keep the rolls from becoming soggy. If there are any leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within a day.
