Saute onion and celery in butter until tender. Add shrimp and continue cooking for 2 or 3 minutes until shrimp turns pinkish. Remove from heat. Add stuffing and beaten egg. Mix well. Spread equal amounts on top of fillets, and roll, starting with smaller end. Lay each rolled fillet on its flap so that it does not come apart.
