I can’t really tell you where the idea for a shrimp roll came from. Perhaps it was a bag of shrimp in the freezer and the longing for lobster. Perhaps it was seeing Paula Deen make a lobster roll, and realizing that it is essentially a glorified tuna salad sandwich. Perhaps it was the one time a year I have hot dog buns in the freezer. Perhaps it was finally time to try out that Wasabi Mayo that has been in the cupboard for months.
Wasabi Shrimp Roll - 2 rolls
- 2 cups roughly chopped shrimp
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 2 Tbsp wasabi mayonnaise (From Trader Joe’s)
- 2 hot dog buns
- optional: black sesame seeds and sriracha
Combine first four ingredients.
Toast buns on grill if desired. Top buns with shrimp mixture.
It’s perhaps the best sandwich I’ve had this month.

nice post. thanks.
I LOVE wasabi on anything. I make a wasabi coleslaw that is like crack. I usually just add wasabi paste to mayo, but may have to give Trader Joe’s a try.
What else do you put in the coleslaw? It sounds amazing!
i bet that was awesome – i do like a little wasabi in my life!
WOW! Gorgeous! I bet that was one helluva sandwich.
This is perhaps the most inventive and delicious way to fill up a hot dog bun I’ve seen as of late. I love a touch of wasabi on practically anything, particularly seafood. Have you tried Trader Joe’s Wasabi Mayo?
Ok, I’m a tard. I just re-read the ingredients in your recipe and you actually used the very mayo I just referenced. Methinks, I need to go for a mentally invigorating run now.
Well, I’m going to assume that you have tried it….What do you use it on?
This looks so delicious – I was expecting sushi with the title, but was pleasantly surprised to see a sandwich! A sandwich I can make
I have tons of rolls from a barbeque and some frozen shrimp. I might be breaking out this recipe one night this week. Thanks!!
I love wasabi! This sounds excellent! Don’t you just love when your experiments turn out to be a great success!
wasabi is so good! i was once at a resturant that served a ball of wasabi as as a part of a tuna dish. a woman ate the whole thing at once thinking it was a melon ball. whoops! caused quite the scene!
Oh my gosh, I can only imagine! Wow!
Yum yum! My mouth is on fire just reading the ingredients. Wasabi and sciracha.. can’t go wrong there.
catching up today…this looks amazing! i will have to try it out this weekend — yum!!
