Thai-style Shrimp and Cheddar Spring Rolls<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A refreshing and delicious idea for a picnic<\/p>\n

What is it about eating outdoors that is so appealing? Is it simply the fact that we are trapped inside for most of the year and we need to get out come summertime? Maybe the increased amount of oxygen makes the food and wine taste better. Or maybe natural light soothes a primal part of our psyches, making the meal experience that much better. Whatever the reason, I just love eating outdoors, and I\u2019m always on the lookout for new, easy and tasty picnic recipes. Thai-style shrimp and Canadian Cheddar spring rolls are fresh, simple and delicious, especially when paired with crisp, refreshing wines.<\/p>\n

The\"\"<\/a> great thing about spring rolls is that they can be made ahead of time and taste great at room temperature. This recipe, however, does involve a bit of cream, so make sure you refrigerate your spring rolls until you head outside. For the wine, I would recommend a dry, crisp Pinot Grigio, such as a Pelee Island, which is made right here in Canada. If you are thirsty for ros\u00e9, I would recommend a refreshing and dry C\u00f4te de Provence.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to eating outdoors!<\/p>\n

\n2 cloves garlic, chopped\"\"<\/a>
\n1 tbsp (15 ml) honey
\n1 tbsp (15 ml) lime juice
\n1 tsp (5 ml) grilled sesame seed oil
\n1 Pinch crushed chilies
\n\u00bc cup (60 ml) 15% or 18% thick cream
\n3 tbsp (45 ml) peanut butter
\n16 large rice sheets
\n2 cups (500 ml) vegetables (pepper, carrot, cucumber, etc.) , julienned
\n2 cups (500 ml) lettuce, shredded
