Summertime means fresh seafood and the perfect time to make shrimp rolls for your family. I make this recipe often because I can make the shrimp ingredients a day ahead and then assemble the sandwiches the following day. This recipe somehow feels light and filling at the same time. Pair it with gazpacho, if you like!
