Mayonnaise and Greek Yogurt: Both provide a rich and creamy texture.

Green Onions: It adds a crunchy texture to the salad.

• If you don't like soft bread, you can splatter the hot dog buns with butter and toast them in medium-low heat.
• Don't overcook the shrimps lest they become too dry for the sandwich.
• If you have a soft spot for spicy food, adding diced red onion will give the salad a spicy tint. You may also add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

What Shrimp Is The Best For The Shrimp Salad Sandwich?

It is best to buy the frozen shrimp from the market with its shells and dark dorsal veins removed. Such a type of shrimp will save you time from deveining it, and it also offers a good quality when you combine it with the other ingredients.

Frozen shrimp allows you to keep leftovers in the freezer as well in case you fancy cooking another batch of salad.
