Greek Phyllo Seafood Rolls
From spanakopita to baklava, the greeks know how to use phyllo! Here the flaky dough encloses a mixture of spinach, cheese and shrimp, lightly seasoned with lemon. The rolls are easy to make and delicious to eat, particularly with a greek salad of tomatoes, feta, olives and bell peppers alongside.
