Dinner Tonight: Shrimp And Deviled-Egg Salad Rolls Recipe
- 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 pound headless large shell-on shrimp
- 6 large eggs
- 2 ounces thick-cut bacon, finely sliced
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 red tomatoes, thickly sliced
- 4 leaves butter lettuce
- 4 hot dog buns
- 2 scallions, finely sliced
- Bring two quarts of water and two teaspoons of salt to a boil in a large pot set over high heat. Turn off the heat and immediately add the shrimp. Cook until shrimp are pink-orange and slightly firm, one to two minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and rinse under cold water in a colander until cool.
- Bring the pot of water back to a boil over high heat. Then reduce heat to low and carefully lower the eggs into the pot with the slotted spoon. Simmer the eggs for exactly 14 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop the shrimp, and then add them to a large bowl.
- Add the bacon to a large skillet set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crisp, four to five minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- When eggs are done cooking, remove with the slotted spoon and place in a colander. Rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle. Then peel the eggs, discard the shells, and then cut each on in half. Scoop out the cooked yolks with a small spoon and set aside. Coarsely chop the egg whites, and then add them to the bowl with the shrimp.
- Press the yolks through a mesh strainer into a medium-sized bowl. Add the mayonnaise, hot sauce, mustard, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk mixture aggressively, until it has the texture of cake batter.
- Fold the yolk mixture into the bowl with the shrimp and egg whites. When evenly coated, season mixture with more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Place one leaf of lettuce and two slices of tomato in each hot dog bun, and then add about one cup of the shrimp deviled-egg salad. Garnish each roll with the cooked bacon and sliced scallions.
