Shrimp Cannelloni #SundaySupper

Looking for romantic meals for two that won’t take you all day to make?  Try my Shrimp Cannelloni that has a short cut so you can spend more time with your love and not in the kitchen.

The inspiration for these came after watching one of my favorite shows Diner, Drive-In’s & Dives. They were at a restaurant where they made cannelloni and instead of spending all the time stuffing the tubes they used egg roll wrappers instead.  Genius!

For the seafood filling in this Shrimp Cannelloni, they used a food processor to chop everything up.  Also genius!  So let’s get to it.

How to make Shrimp Cannelloni:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

Start by thawing out the shrimp.  I used cocktail already cooked shrimp to make quick work of this and then I have shrimp leftover for tacos and salads. 

In a food processor place the shrimp (keep out a small handful to add into the Alfredo sauce at the end), sundried tomatoes, garlic cloves, and parsley.  Process until all the has been combined. 

Take the mixture and place it in a bowl, then add the ricotta cheese and Italian cheese.  Mix all together. The mixture should be well combined to make it easy to spread onto the egg roll wrappers.

Now start the Alfredo sauce.  Melt the butter in a saucepan, once melted add the flour and make a roux. Now add the milk, the whole shrimp that was set aside, and the Parmesan cheese. 

Stir to completely combine and it thickens up.  Grease a baking dish (any size works) and spread 1/2 of the Alfredo into the bottom of the pan.

Now time to wrap the ‘Cannelloni’.  Take the shrimp and ricotta mixture into 6 servings.  Layout each egg roll wrapper and spread the filling in the middle.

Fold over the top edges over the filling then one end over the filling and finally roll it up. 

Place into the dish seam side down.  Lastly, cover with the rest of the Alfredo sauce and the last 1/4 cup of Italian cheese and chopped parsley. 

Put in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.  And here you are…..

    I love the flavors going on in here. Using precooked salad shrimp sounds like a great short cut too!

    Made this recipe last night and it was absolutely scrumptious! This was simple but tasted like something you’d get at a high end Italian restaurant! The egg roll wrappers worked brilliantly and I will use for other cannoli – like ideas. Just a couple things you might think to add to recipe…add egg roll wrappers to the ingredient list and when adding the first portion of cheese to the shrimp ricotta mixture mention to use only half…read later to top with other half but I’d already put the half cup in mixture (which I’d probably do again—can never get too much cheese!) but then just added more to top before baking. Thanks for this excellent recipe!
