Mini Shrimp Rolls.
When I think of the holidays, it most often involves thoughts of gathering with friends and family, to mix & mingle, enjoy a drink, great conversations, a few laughs, all while nibbling on tasty treats. It’s my favourite time to prepare rich, indulgent, delicacies, to tingle the taste buds of our guests. Looks and tastes like it would have taken all day to make, but it is actually very simple!
This holiday season, step up your appetizer game with minimal effort, packed with amazing flavour: Mini Shrimp Rolls!
Now, if you have ever enjoyed a great lobster roll, you will know that the bread is as important as what goes in it. The savoury, creamy, tender filling encased by a warm, buttery bun.
This recipe was created in partnership with Furlani®. Opinions in this post are always my own.
That is why I use the Furlani® Garlic Parm Breadsticks. Super soft, these restaurant style breadsticks are full of garlicky goodness and topped with a garlic Parmesan spread. Heated in the oven for just 5 minutes, they come out with the aroma, taste, and texture of fresh baked bread. Then filled with tiny wild shrimp that have been coated in a creamy lemon-Dijon-mayo sauce, fresh dill, crunchy vegetables, and pickled jalapeños.
The best part, this recipe uses precooked shrimp, so the filling can be assembled in about 10 minutes. It can also be made up to 2 days in advance, taking away much of the stress typically associated with holiday entertaining.
Watch how these easy shrimp appetizers were make here.

These breadstick bites are great to take to a potluck party too. All you need is access to a conventional or toaster oven. Transport the prepared shrimp salad mixture in a well sealed container. When you are ready to serve, simply heat the Furlani® Breadsticks for 5 minutes, slice and add the filling. Now you can sit back and listen to everyone rave about your Mini Shrimp Rolls.
