Southern Shrimp Rolls

1. 1

   Set a large pot full of water to boil. Preheat broiler. Split buns from the top, slathering both sides with the half a stick of softened butter. Arrange buns on a baking sheet, split side up.

2. 2

   When water is boiling, drop in shrimp and stir until they've curled and turned red, about 2 minutes. Taste one to be sure. Doesn't it taste just like lobster?!

3. 3

   Drain, run shrimp under cold water to stop the cooking, and put shrimp into a bowl. Toss shrimp with the half of a stick of melted butter. Put in the fridge to cool for about 15 minutes.

4. 4

   When cool, add celery and mayonnaise and mix. Salt and pepper to taste. Put in the refrigerator to cool until the buns are ready.

5. 5

   Put the buns 5-6 inches under the broiler and watch carefully. Broil for about 1 minute until buns are browned and toasted.

6. 6

   Fill buns with equal amounts of the shrimp mixture and sprinkle basil over before serving.
