Zest of 1 lemon (juice reserved for aioli)
2 tablespoons roughly chopped dill
2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives
1 small shallot, minced
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup vegetable or canola oil

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

🥗Healthier: crab meat

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides a seafood flavor.

1

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced shrimp, ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, and baking soda. Cover the bowl with plastic and set it aside for 30 minutes.

2

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

3

Place all the aioli ingredients in a tall, round container that just fits the blades of an immersion blender.

4

Hold the blades of the blender flat against the bottom of the container and start to blend at a low setting. As a white gel forms at the bottom, slowly raise the blades straight up following the formation of the white sauce until everything is evenly combined. Set the aioli aside.

5

Transfer the dry-brined shrimp to a lightly greased sheet pan in a single layer.

6

Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 6 minutes.

7

Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

8

Add lemon zest, dill, chives, shallot, pepper, and optionally, hot sauce to the shrimp.

9

Pour in ¼ cup of the lemon aioli and fold all the ingredients together evenly. Add more aioli to loosen the consistency as desired. Store remaining aioli for another use.

10

On a clean sheet pan, brush the baguette slices with melted butter and toast in the oven for 8 minutes.

11

Transfer the toasted slices to a serving platter.

12

Top each slice with a dollop of shrimp salad, followed by a garnish of bright fish roe, then serve.
