What do you do when you come across a recipe that is not really for the “season” you are in? I really tried hard this year to post about all of the seasonal recipes that I made in the season you are supposed to eat them in. Last year, December rolled around and I realized I hadn’t posted a strawberry rhubarb jam I made. I felt silly posting it in December, but I felt like I had to for part of my Cookbook Project. So really – I tried really hard this year. And I thought I was doing really well.
Until I was going through pictures today, deciding what to post, and not only found these Summer Shrimp Rolls, but also a lovely cake that I made with nectarines. What to do?? I could have just pushed them aside, either not posting about them or waiting until next summer. But they were both so good that I just have to post them! I guess you could always bookmark them for next summer. And hey – it’s almost summer in Australia!! (And don’t worry – I’ll be posting the cake recipe soon as well!)
Technically, you can eat these shrimp rolls any time of year. Hopefully you froze some of that fresh summer corn, and this would be a great way to use it. One of the best parts of this recipe is that you can have dinner on the table in 20 minutes. You can’t beat that!!

Hey, this looks good to me any time of the year! I was surprised to see corn in there … I bet it adds a wonderful sweet crunch to the sammie. Living in Oregon, I can get shrimp year round, so this is a keeper! 🙂

I've been known to eat off-season foods at random times. I'm all about keeping an eclectic menu! This would be perfect to make right between the holidays, when we're eating heavy stuff. The cake sounds like it'd be a great dessert, too!
