Add the kosher salt to a quart or so of water in a medium pot.
1 tsp kosher salt, 1 quart water
Bring just to a simmer and add the shrimp. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes (depending upon the size of the shrimp); they should be pink and barely translucent.
12 ounce raw shrimp
Drain, rinse briefly under cool water, and pat dry. Dice the cooked shrimp into ¼ inch pieces.
Place the shrimp in a small bowl and add ½ tsp of the Old Bay and 1 tsp of the lemon juice. Toss to coat and place in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to cool completely.
1 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning, 2 tsp lemon juice
Whisk the remaining Old Bay seasoning, remaining lemon juice, mayonnaise, cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce together in a medium size bowl to make the dressing.
1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 dash Worcestershire sauce, 1 pinch cayenne pepper
Toss half of the dressing with the shredded lettuce.
3/4 cup iceberg lettuce
Add cooled shrimp, celery and scallions to the other half of the dressing, tossing gently to coat. Adjust seasoning; add more salt or lemon juice if needed.
1/4 cup celery, 1/3 cup scallions
Serve on toasted rolls or buns topped with shredded lettuce tossed in dressing and the shrimp.
2 hoagie rolls

The shrimp salad tastes great all by itself, if you don't care to make a sandwich.
