Method: 

Mix together the mayonnaise, celery, roasted red pepper, lemon juice, Shrimp Magic, salt, and parsley in a large bowl. Fold in the shrimp and return to the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Slice the buns almost all the way through. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place as many of the buns as will fit, cut side down, on the hot surface for a minute or so, until lightly browned. Fill the buns with a heap of shrimp salad. Repeat with remaining buns.

SUGGESTED WINE PAIRING: Serve with Kris Pinot Grigio (Delle Venezie, Italy), a simple grape for a simple dish. Refreshingly flavorful and aromatic, this uncomplicated white wine also goes well with grilled salmon, seafood pastas, and salads.
