Connecticut-Style Shrimp Rolls

Connecticut-Style Shrimp Rolls

It’s a strange time, isn’t it? When we made this recipe last week, schools were still in session and stores and restaurants were still open. We couldn’t find hand sanitizer, but everything else seemed pretty normal. Fast forward one week and school is cancelled, store
