A lobster roll is a dish best eaten at a seafood shack with a view of the water, prepared by someone with all the time in the world to boil and break down a full fresh lobster. But a shrimp roll? That you can easily make at home. In this recipe, the only true cooking required is a quick lemony poach on the shrimp and a brief toast of the buns; you’ll build the roll filling with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, a leaf of tender butter lettuce, and a shower of fresh chives. For an even faster sprint to the dinner table, use precooked frozen shrimp instead—simply thaw, chop, and proceed with the recipe as written.
