Discover a crispy shrimp egg rolls recipe with savory seafood flavors perfect for appetizers Easy to make and ideal for any occasion or snack time craving
Ingredients
Scale
12 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup shredded cabbage
½ cup grated carrots
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 package egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying (peanut or vegetable oil)
Water (for sealing)
Instructions
- Prep the Shrimp Filling: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of sesame oil. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant and lightly golden, about 30 seconds. Add the chopped shrimp, cooking until pink and opaque, around 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Combine the Veggies: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced green onions. Pour in the soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil, tossing until everything is evenly coated and fragrant. Let this rest for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
- Mix Filling Together: Fold the cooked shrimp gently into the veggie mixture, ensuring that every bite will have a good blend of shrimp and crunch.
- Roll the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you (diamond shape). Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, then roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Use a dab of water on the top corner to seal the edge. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat the Oil and Fry: Fill a heavy-bottomed pan or deep fryer with about 2 inches of oil and heat to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls in batches, frying until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even color.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the cooked egg rolls with a slotted spoon and set on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let cool for a minute before serving to enjoy that perfect crunch with every bite.
