Make homemade mayonnaise by blending one egg, Dijon mustard, and about a tablespoon of lemon juice with an immersion blender, then slowly add avocado oil while blending until emulsified.

Season the mayo with salt, pepper, dill, and chives after emulsifying.

Drain and pat the poached shrimp dry, then cut into small 1/2 inch pieces.

Toast the whole wheat bread until golden brown.

Spread a decent amount of the herby mayo on the toasted bread.

Add a few pieces of butterhead lettuce on top of the mayo.

Pile on the poached shrimp as desired.

Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp and season with additional salt and pepper.

Add quartered hard-boiled eggs on top of the shrimp.

Garnish with dill and lemon wedges.
