1 teaspoon pepper, or less

4 tablespoons fresh dill, minced

In a large saucepan, bring 5-6 quarts of water to boil with the salt and lemon. Add the shrimp and cook just until good and pink, 2 or 3 minutes. Don't overcook them if you want nice, moist shrimp.

Whisk together the mayo, mustard, wine, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and dill. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Stir together the mayo mixture, shrimp, onion and celery. Chill.
Divide the filling evenly among the sesame roll bottoms, add the tops and serve.
