Fully Loaded Prawn Rolls to See You Through the Rest of Patio Season

To celebrate what’s left of summer, Rosewood Wines estate chef Wesley Gendron is serving up decadent prawn rolls for the already well-hydrated visitors at the winery. Coated in a fresh dijonnaise and served in a warm brioche bun layered with lettuce, these rolls are the perfect alternative to hotdogs and burgers for the adventurous summer-lover in your life and are best paired with crisp, cool, white wines such as Rosewood’s standout savagnin.

Yields 4 rolls

Ingredients

200 grams (20-40 count) prawns (or shrimp)
