Step 1
Spoon the mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, and lemon juice into a small bowl, then stir with a spoon until the mixture is smooth and uniform throughout, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Chop the fresh dill into pieces smaller than a grain of rice, then sprinkle it into the remoulade and stir once to distribute it evenly.
Step 3
Place all four bread slices on a cutting board or plate, laying them flat in a single layer side by side.
Step 4
Spread 0.5 tablespoon of softened butter evenly across the top surface of each bread slice using the back of a butter knife or a spreader.
Step 5
Spoon the remoulade mixture onto each buttered bread slice and use the back of the spoon to spread it in an even layer, covering the surface.
Step 6
Divide the chilled cooked shrimp evenly among the four bread slices, arranging them in a single layer on top of the remoulade to cover the surface.
Step 7
Place one lemon wedge on the right side of each of the four open-faced sandwiches, nestling it between the shrimp for both flavor and visual garnish.
