Ingredients
- 1 lb Brookshire Brothers shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp chives, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
- 2 Tbsp tarragon, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp dill, finely chopped
- ½ lemon, juiced (about 1 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp tarragon vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 1 Tbsp + ½ tsp kosher salt, divided
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 4 split top buns
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For serving:
- Kettle chips
Directions
- Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a rapid boil. Add 1 Tbsp salt, then add shrimp. Turn the heat off immediately and allow shrimp to slowly poach for 2-3 minutes until fully pink.
- Meanwhile, fill a large bowl halfway with ice, then cover with cold water. Immediately transfer cooked shrimp to ice bath and allow to cool while you make the sauce.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, chives, tarragon, dill, lemon juice, tarragon vinegar, remaining ½ tsp salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Drain shrimp and chop into small pieces. Add to mayonnaise, then toss to thoroughly coat. Set aside.
- Heat buns: you can place them in a toaster oven, in a traditional oven preheated to 350 F, or on a stove top on a griddle coated with nonstick cook spray. When hot, brush the inside of each bun with melted butter.
- Fill each bun with ¼ of the shrimp salad mixture. Garnish with additional chopped chives, then serve immediately.
