There's a Shrimp Version, Too
Summer rolls, spring rolls, fresh rolls, whatever you call them, they're delish. Trader Joe's Spring Rolls come in two varieties: tofu and shrimp. But because I was a little leery about shrimp, I went with the tofu version. Two to a package for $5.49, they come with a cashew dipping…
Coconut fans, Trader Joe's is hooking us up with a super tasty air fryer-friendly dessert. Trader Joe's Thai Coconut Pancakes, or Kanom Krok, is a Thai street food that's usually cooked in a domed pan, similar to a takoyaki or aebelskiver pan.
