Creamy Dreamy Shrimp Rolls

Have you ever seen the mini series the 10th Kingdom?  It's pretty cheesy, but kind of fun!  My mom bought it a while ago because she loved it so much, and now it's a fun thing to pop in when I'm sick or something (you don't have to use your brain much). ;)  

Anyway, it's an all-star cast, and the story is all magical & fantasy - with a modern-day girl & her dad getting trapped in their world.  Honestly if I had seen it when I was between the ages of 10-14 I would have gone bonkers for it!  Anyhew, there's a "wolf" (part man part wolf) played by the ridiculously cute Scott Cohen (who was also in Kissing Jessica Stein - another one of my favorite movies).  But I'm getting off track!  The wolf pretty much has love-at-first-sight for the main girl in the story, and he keeps referring to her as a "Creamy Dreamy Girl!" throughout.  It's kind of silly, but cute.  

Hence the name of my post.  
Nah, it wasn't too far off track, was it? :) 

I made these for our last beach vacation to Pawley's Island, South Carolina at the end of last year.  It was one of my favorite lunches, and after making my last post about beaches, I decided to replicate it last night!  It wasn't the same as eating it on the beach, but it was still just as yummy.
