Easy Week Night Shrimp Rolls

So the Hubs and I are dreaming of sun and sand and all things beach. 

I was looking through my Coastal Living magazines and found this super easy Shrimp Roll recipe to help with our summer dreaming!

Here's what you need:

1/2 cup mayo

2 Tbsp white wine vinegar

2 tsp Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh chives

1/2 finely chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped and peeled, and seeded cucumber

2 Tbsp chopped shallots

2 lbs peeled and cooked medium shrimp (we used 1.5 lbs of large shrimp)

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded Romaine lettuce

4 (8-inch) baguettes, ends trimmed and wedge removed from top (actually, we used multi-grain pita pockets)

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl.

We boiled our shrimp, and then ran cold water over them.

We also removed the tails before mixing them in the delicious dressing we just made.

We stirred our shrimp into the dressing and seasoned it with salt and freshly ground pepper.

I bought a bag of freshly chopped Romaine salad mix for these sandwiches.

I stuffed the Romaine in the bottom of the pita pockets and filled them to the brim with the shrimp mixture.

For further tropical dreaming, we added freshly cut pineapple!

While the chopping requires a bit of prep work, this truly is a very easy dish to throw together on a week night.

So while it is cold outside, this easy week night dinner transported me to somewhere warm by the sea.

La Bonne Vie Y'all!

***Welcome Back! 

As you can see, we have moved back to Blogger. I believe that it suits our needs the best....for the time being anyway. 

Thanks for sticking with us! 

We will continue to cook, eat, drink, travel and keep this little diary to tell about it.
