Shrimp Rolls

Lobster roll glamor, recession price point.

I love a lobster roll. I am not obsessed with the idea of spending upwards of $60 in groceries for a single meal.

Thankfully, this little shrimpy delight is equally good, if not better. It begins with a buttery homemade brioche roll sprinkled with sesame. The shrimp gets gently poached in a court bouillon made with the shells for Big Shrimpy flavor, then tossed in a dressing inspired by remoulade. If you want to split the difference between something as humble as shrimp and as splurgy as lobster, you can top them with a little bit of salmon or trout roe (any left overs can be served with crème fraîche and potato chips), or substitute with a sprinkle of flaky salt.
