Shrimp Salad Rolls

They're inspired by lobster rolls, but we think you'll find these sandwiches more popular with a crowd of all ages — not to mention more affordable and easier on the cook.

Cooks' notes:

· Shrimp can be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. · Though best eaten the same day, shrimp salad can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
