Tips to make Simply Irresistible Seafood Rolls
- Season to your own taste: Not a fan of spicy? Skip the jalapeño!
- Swap the herbs: If you don’t have chives, try fresh parsley or cilantro for a different twist.
- Use canned seafood in a pinch: Just drain well, and you’re good to go!
- If the mix is too thick, a dash more mayo can help loosen things up.
- Want more zing? A dash of hot sauce works wonders if you’re up for it!
Variation
Feeling adventurous? Try adding diced avocado for creaminess or experiment with different buns, like ciabatta or sourdough for extra flavor. If you’re looking for a plant-based version, replace seafood with chickpeas and add a smoky flavor using smoked paprika. 🍽️
