Instructions

Step: Boil a large pot of water over a medium to high flame with 2 tsp of sea salt and juice from half the lemon.
Step: While waiting for it to boil, mix the mayonnaise dressing ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
Step: Once the water is boiling add the shrimp for 2-3 minutes and then immediately remove and add them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Step: Butter the buns on the inside and on the top, then broil them for 1-2 minutes.
Step: Remove the shrimp from the ice bath, chop them, and combine with the mayo mix.
Step: Stuff the hot dog buns and top with an additional squeeze of lemon juice, sea salt, pepper and parsley.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor profile. If you have leftovers, store the shrimp mix separately from the hot dog buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
