Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, cooked and chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 mini rolls
- Lettuce for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the shrimp. If you haven't done so already, ensure that the shrimp is cooked, peeled, and chopped into small pieces. You can use pre-cooked shrimp to save time.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp with 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Stir well until the shrimp is evenly coated with the mayonnaise.
- Add 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped dill to the shrimp mixture. This will give the rolls a fresh and aromatic flavor. Mix well to incorporate the dill.
- Next, squeeze in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to brighten the flavors of the shrimp mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
- Once the shrimp mixture is well combined, set it aside. Take the mini rolls and slice them open gently, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Fill each mini roll with a generous amount of the shrimp mixture. Make sure to pack it in well for a satisfying bite.
- To serve, place a piece of lettuce inside each mini roll for added crunch and freshness. This will also help keep the shrimp mixture in place.
- Arrange the filled mini shrimp rolls on a serving platter. Optionally, you can garnish with additional dill or lemon wedges for presentation.
- Enjoy your Mini Shrimp Rolls Dill as a delightful appetizer or light meal!
Tips
- Use Quality Shrimp: For the best flavor, opt for fresh or high-quality frozen shrimp. If using frozen, be sure to thaw and drain them well before chopping.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add other ingredients like diced celery or a splash of hot sauce for an extra kick. Personalizing your shrimp mixture can elevate the taste even more!
- Chill Before Serving: For enhanced flavor, consider chilling the shrimp mixture for about 30 minutes before filling the rolls. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Choose the Right Rolls: Mini rolls can vary in texture. Soft, fluffy rolls work best for a delightful bite, while crusty rolls can add an interesting crunch.
- Presentation Matters: Garnish your platter with extra dill, lemon wedges, or even some colorful vegetables to make your dish visually appealing.
- Serve Fresh: Mini Shrimp Rolls are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to prepare them ahead of time, keep the shrimp mixture and rolls separate until just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- Pair with a Dipping Sauce: Consider serving these rolls with a tangy dipping sauce, like a spicy aioli or a zesty cocktail sauce, for an extra layer of flavor.
