Why Shrimp Rolls Are Amazing
Shrimp rolls are an easier, yet equally luxurious, alternative to the classic Lobster Roll. Particularly popular in the northeastern United States, these rolls capture the essence of coastal cuisine. Plus, with our easy-to-follow recipe, you'll be impressing your guests in no time!
How Do These Rolls Taste?
Imagine a buttery brioche bun cradling a mix of tender, succulent shrimp that's been seasoned to perfection. Enhanced with hints of fresh lemon juice and a dash of hot sauce, the shrimp offer a burst of flavor with every bite. The richness of mayonnaise and the crunchiness of fresh vegetables add layers of texture and flavor that make each mouthful a delight.
Where Our Shrimp Comes From
We source our shrimp from the Gulf, known for its rich, biodiverse aquatic life. Our Sizzlefish wild Gulf shrimp are ethically caught, ensuring both premium quality and sustainability. These shrimp offer a delicate yet robust flavor, making them an ideal choice for our shrimp rolls.
Nutritional Boosters
Shrimp are not just delicious; they're also rich in essential nutrients. They provide a healthy dose of protein and are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their heart health benefits. Shrimp also contain important minerals like iodine and offer a good source of vitamins like B12.
The Luxurious Brioche Bun
Ever wonder why brioche buns elevate any sandwich? It's all in the rich, buttery texture and subtle sweetness. Brioche is a French bread enriched with butter and eggs, resulting in a luxurious feel that complements the shrimp's delicate texture perfectly.

Customize Your Shrimp Roll Dressing
While the classic dressing made of mayonnaise, celery, and lemon juice is always a hit, you can elevate your shrimp roll with some additional ingredients. We recommend adding minced chives for a touch of herbal freshness, tangy dill pickles for some crunch, and a splash of hot sauce for a kick of heat.

Ingredients
-
3 portions Sizzlefish wild gulf shrimp, thawed
1 cup chopped celery
2 tbsp minced chives, divided
2 tbsp chopped dill pickles
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Directions

To toast buns, slice off 1/4-inch from each side of buns. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Once butter is bubbling, add sliced buns and toast in butter for 1 minute on each side. Add extra butter as needed. Set toasted buns aside.
Combine chilled shrimp, celery, pickles, 1 tablespoon of chives, mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a medium bowl.
Spoon shrimp mixture into toasted buns and top with additional chives. Serve right away.
