Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lb large shrimp in shell (21 to 25 per lb)
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, or to taste
3/4 teaspoon salt

Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a platter and return water to a boil. Cook remaining shrimp in same manner (then discard water), transferring to platter. When shrimp are cool enough to handle, peel, then chill, covered, until completely cold, about 1 hour.

Devein shrimp and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then add to dressing along with celery, and toss to combine. Serve salad in rolls.
