Sauteed shrimp rolls

Submitted by Hey Jude

"Wonderful sandwiches that we have with tomato soup. You can substitute the raw with precooked large shrimp but you'll give up some of the yummy garlic flavor. Good after work meal."

Wow! This was great! I was looking for a great soup and sandwich combo and found this recipe to go with Quick Homemade Tomato Soup #12438 and dinner was just fabulous! The only thing that I did differently was to use olive oil spray instead of the butter/olive oil mixture to toast the buns, otherwise followed the directions to a "T". I'll be making this one regularly. Thanks so much for posting!

These are so good and so easy! Great for a sandwich night supper. We had these with fruit salad and chips. Thanks for sharing!
