On those hot summer days, I love having a cool shrimp roll that’s tasty and refreshing to the bite. They’re filled with large, juicy shrimp tossed in creamy, herbaceous sauce, and stuffed into a warm toasted bun.

I know lobster rolls get all the shine, but I personally prefer the shrimp version that’s more economical.
Coupled with a bag of chips it’s the perfect summertime lunch for a day at the beach or a picnic.
