• If you’re using raw shrimp, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
• Drain and rinse the shrimp under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry and chop into bite-sized pieces if desired.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

• In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, mayonnaise, lemon juice, diced celery, chives, Old Bay seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Mix gently until the shrimp are evenly coated in the creamy dressing. For the best flavor, refrigerate the mixture for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 3: Toast the Rolls

• Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter.
• Place the hot dog rolls in the skillet and toast until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls

• Line each toasted roll with a piece of lettuce (if using) to add crunch and prevent sogginess.
• Generously spoon the shrimp mixture into each roll, ensuring even distribution.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

• Serve your shrimp rolls immediately with a side of chips, coleslaw, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
