Ingredients

1 pound bay shrimp
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ large red bell pepper diced
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1 ½ teaspoons capers
1 teaspoon caper brine from the capers bottle
½ teaspoon celery salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ large avocado (such as Hass) chopped
4 whole wheat sandwich rolls cut in half (See Note)
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce

Instructions

Rinse the shrimp and pick out any shell pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the bay shrimp, mayonnaise, lemon juice, red bell pepper, dill, capers, caper brine, celery salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Gently stir in the avocado. Taste and adjust seasonings, if desired.
Lightly toast the sandwich rolls. Divide the shrimp salad mixture between the bottom halves of the rolls. Top with the lettuce and the top halves of the buns. Serve.

Notes

I used Macrina Bakery whole wheat buns, which are 220 calories each. To make it easier to calculate the nutritional information in case you use different rolls or choose to serve the shrimp salad in tortillas or in lettuce wraps, here is the nutritional information of the shrimp salad only (without the buns):
