Directions

1. Preheat your boiler.
2. Take out a large skillet and heat it at a medium-high heat.  Add some oil to the pan, swirl it to coat. Next, add in the ginger and let it cook for 1 minute.
3. Time to season the shrimp.  Sprinkle the shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt and put it into the pan.  Let the shrimp cook for 3 minutes or until it is done.  Keep in mind to keep the shrimp warm.
4. Get the buns and place them single layer on a baking sheet, with the cut sides up.  Broil them for 45 seconds or until the buns become toasted.
5. Combine the celery, canola mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, shallots and the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Then stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper into the previous mixture.
6. For the final touches, place one lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun.  Top the lettuce with a tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture and 3 shrimps.  Lastly, cover the layers with the top half of the bun and enjoy!
