A fresh and indulgent shrimp salad sandwich made with a creamy dressing, crunchy celery, and fresh dill, served on flaky buttery croissants. Perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (e.g., Hellmann’s or Duke’s)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or parsley as substitute)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large buttery croissants, split and ready for filling

Instructions

  1. If shrimp isn’t cooked, boil or sauté about 1 pound until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Let cool completely before chopping into roughly 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Finely dice 1/2 cup celery and 2 tablespoons red onion.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Gently fold chopped shrimp, celery, red onion, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill into the dressing. Mix just until everything is coated.
  5. Slice 4 large croissants horizontally using a serrated knife. Toast lightly if desired.
  6. Spoon a generous amount of shrimp salad onto the bottom half of each croissant. Top with the other half and press lightly to secure. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture. Keep shrimp and dressing chilled before assembling to maintain texture. Toast croissants lightly to prevent sogginess. Store shrimp salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; assemble sandwiches just before serving.
