Ingredients
Shrimp Filling
- 1½ lbs (680 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Assembly
- 4 split-top hot dog buns
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the butter and garlic: Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant but not browned.
- Cook the shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet along with 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning until they turn pink and opaque.
- Finish the shrimp mixture: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well so the shrimp are coated in the warm buttery sauce.
- Toast the buns: Lightly toast the split-top hot dog buns until golden brown to add a slight crunch and prevent sogginess from the shrimp mixture.
- Assemble the rolls: Fill each toasted bun with the warm buttery shrimp. Make sure to distribute the shrimp and sauce evenly for a flavorful bite every time.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp rolls as desired.
Notes
- Use fresh shrimp or thaw frozen shrimp completely for the best texture.
- Split-top buns work best to hold the shrimp filling without spilling.
- Add shredded lettuce or other crunchy greens inside the rolls for extra texture if desired.
