Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp

In a pot of boiling water, cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes until they are pink and opaque. Check that the internal temperature of the shrimp reaches 145°F / 63°C by inserting a food thermometer into the thickest part of the shrimp. Drain and cool slightly.

Pro tip: Avoid overcooking shrimp to keep them tender.

Season the Shrimp

In a bowl, combine the shrimp, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Pro tip: Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.

Make the Remoulade

In a separate bowl, mix the julienned celery root with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, capers, and vinegar until well combined.

Pro tip: Chill the remoulade for at least 10 minutes for enhanced flavour.

Toast the Buns

Lightly toast the hot dog buns under a broiler or in a toaster oven until golden brown.

Pro tip: Toasting the buns adds a delightful crunch to the sandwich.

Assemble the Rolls

Place a layer of shredded lettuce in each bun. Fill with shrimp mixture and top with celery remoulade.

Pro tip: Ensure even distribution of shrimp and remoulade for balanced flavour.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately while the buns are still warm.

Pro tip: Pair with a light salad or chips for a complete meal.

The shrimp mixture is best prepared fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
