If you like lobster rolls, consider switching up the seafood with shrimp!

A lobster roll is a delicacy native to New England that features a mayo-based mixture of fresh lobster meat, veggies and herbs and spices served in a hot dog-style bun. They’re delicious and extremely easy to make at home.

Shrimp Rolls

Heinen’s Seafood Department is committed to sourcing the freshest and highest quality fish and shellfish from around the globe. Fresh seafood arrives to their stores with as little time out of the water as possible, and the seafood in their freezers is frozen almost instantly to preserve freshness. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a fresher catch in the Midwest.

This recipe features raw frozen shrimp. It always develops the perfect pink color and snap when cooked, just make sure you thoroughly defrost it first!

Shrimp Rolls

Mixed with the same ingredients as a traditional lobster roll and loaded into Heinen’s split top brioche buns in heaping spoonfuls, this dish may not be the average lobster roll, but the taste is every bit as delicious!
