Ingredients
For the Shrimp Salad Recipe –
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds raw shrimp peeled and deveined (large 31-40 count)
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup chopped green onions
- 1 large lemon zested (save the juice for another recipe)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 dashes cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper
For Shrimp Rolls –
- 8 hot dog buns New England style
- Hot sauce and pickle relish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and set out a large rimmed baking sheet. Place the cleaned shrimp on the baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, then sprinkle generously with salt, ground black pepper, and a few dashes of cayenne pepper. Toss well and spread out in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 6-8 minutes, until the shrimp are firm but are still in the shape of C’s not O’s. (O for overcooked!)
- Once the shrimp have roasted, move half of them to a cutting board and roughly chop.
- Place the whole shrimp and shrimp pieces in a large mixing bowl. Add in the mayonnaise, chopped green onions, lemon zest, chopped dill, and garlic powder.
- Mix well. Taste, then season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Chill until ready to serve.
- Shrimp salad is best when served cold on a pile of greens or on classic shrimp rolls!

Notes
- I like to use large shrimp, then chop some of them make the salad stick together. However, you can use small or popcorn shrimp if you prefer.
