Begin by preparing the shrimp. If they are not pre-cooked, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the shrimp, and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque all the way through. Drain and let cool slightly.
While the shrimp are cooling, prepare the lettuce leaves. Rinse them gently and pat dry with paper towels, then set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. This will be the flavorful dressing for your shrimp.
Chop the cooled shrimp into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the dressing.
Stir in the chopped celery and red onion until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.
In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic powder and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
Gently brush the melted garlic butter onto each butter lettuce leaf to enhance the flavor and provide a hint of richness.
Spoon the shrimp mixture into each lettuce leaf, evenly distributing it across all leaves.
Serve immediately as a refreshing and low-carb alternative to the classic shrimp roll.
