Lemon Shrimp Spring Rolls
These fresh spring rolls are busting with flavour and are perfect as an entrée or as a light meal. Don’t be intimidated by the generous amount of pepper called for in the dip, it is the key element to its success. The hint of maple syrup not only makes this dip delicious, but also well balanced. Any leftover dip can be put in a jar then kept refrigerated for a few weeks.
