Ingredients
Instructions
- Put most of the crushed crackers on the bottom of a buttered baking dish.
- Layer out the sole fillet strips over the crackers.
- Place small shrimp on top of the fillets.
- Roll the fillets around the shrimp and hold them with toothpicks.
- Sprinkle with the remaining crushed crackers.
- Dilute the shrimp soup with a small amount of milk.
- Pour the diluted soup over the rolled fillets.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider seasoning the sole fillets with garlic powder or lemon zest before rolling. If you don't have shrimp soup, a creamy mushroom or a seafood bisque can work as a substitute. You can also use fresh shrimp instead of canned for a more robust taste. Don't hesitate to experiment with the type of crackers used for a different texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Sole Shrimp Roll with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. A side of rice or quinoa can also complement the dish nicely. For a complete seafood experience, pair with a light white wine or a refreshing glass of iced tea. This dish also pairs beautifully with Albert'S Shrimp Dip as an appetizer.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the roll in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. This will help maintain the texture of the sole and ensure the shrimp remains tender.
