Shrimp Rolls

There's nothing quite like a fresh lobster roll on the shores of Maine, but when you can't get there and you can't afford lobster to make them at home, shrimp makes a delicious second-best. Bright lemon zest and parsley combined with creamy mayo and spicy Old Bay are a most delectable way to serve up these shrimp rolls for a light lunch.

The mayo in mine is decidedly heavier-handed, but that's only because I have a few mayo addicts who wouldn't eat them any other way. Add mayo a tablespoon at a time until you find the consistency that you like.
