This shrimp roll is perfect for a romantic picnic!! It kicks up the typical sandwich and would be a great meal to serve with a nice glass of wine and maybe some fresh fruit. It has the right amount of flavor and juicy that will surely please. You could also make this roll the day before and take it to lunch because the flavor just intensifies when wrapped and stored in the refrigerator overnight. My hubby gave me two thumbs up as he devoured it! That was all I needed ~ I hope you enjoy it as much we did!
