Hawaiian Shrimp Roll

One of the things I'm finding difficult this summer is coming up with things I feel like cooking. It's an odd combination of cooking for one, ridiculous heat, and too much snacking while I'm writing. Combined, those three things make me less than inspired when it comes to cooking.

But sometimes an idea hits.

I had some frozen shrimp, and I had some leftover King's Hawaiian hot dog rolls.

I always love the combination of shrimp and pineapple - and that just seemed the right thing for Hawaiian rolls, right?

Well, mostly right.

In retrospect, I would have cooked and chilled the shrimp/pineapple combo before serving it in the roll, but it was still tasty (if a bit soggy!).

I had a bag of sweets and beets chips, so they were my veggie.  😇

Sorry, this photo came out really dark. This was the pineapple (frozen) simmering with the shrimp.

These rolls were perfect because the top opening allowed me to easily fill the roll with the shrimp/pineapple mix.

Clearly my photography skills were lacking this particular day. You'll have to take my word for it that the dark orange on the left side is the beet and sweet potato chips. The half of the pineapple shrimp roll is that bland mess on the right.

My apologies. I had finished eating before I realized the photos were off.

So, what do you think? Would you try this combo? I'm thinking a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top would have been nice.


So, when I was buying the shrimp, I also purchased some salmon. Does this strike anyone else as funny?  My daughter and I had a good laugh at the ingredients. 

If you can't see, the ingredients say: Sockeye salmon (contains fish). Um, how about IS fish?

Finally, everyone else has been sharing gorgeous nature photos. My "nature" photos tend to include buildings, but I thought these evening sky photos were pretty enough to share.

Nary a rattlesnake in sight.  😏
