Summer Shrimp Roll

I love lobster rolls, shrimp rolls, crab rolls, everything rolls…but I must say…this summer shrimp roll is amazing! I created this recipe on the fly and honestly…I think I do my best work that way. I wasn’t sure how this one was going to turn out, I’ve never used these ingredients together before. But I tried the sauce and was blown away. One of my prouder food moments!

Anyway…so what’s going on with you guys?! Doing any last minute road trips?! Going to any concerts or festivals?! I just moved into the Boulder area this week and really loving the weather, people and especially…the mountains! It has been a great first week so far and I’m looking forward to exploring the farmer’s markets in the area this weekend.

It is supposed to cool down significantly this weekend, but it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy this shrimp roll! It is a really really great roll and I hope you take the time to make it. Even as summer winds down and we start heading into fall (Halloween decorations are popping up….whaaaat…) it is still a great time to enjoy good seafood. Have a great weekend and check out the recipe!!
