Bring a small pot of water to boil. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are pink and opaque.
Drain the shrimp and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, chop the shrimp into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine low fat mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped celery, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the chopped shrimp to the mayonnaise mixture and stir until the shrimp is well coated.
Spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil cooking spray and toast the whole grain bread slices over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a lettuce leaf on each slice of toasted bread. Divide the shrimp mixture evenly over two slices. Top with sliced tomato and cover with the remaining bread slices.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
