Budget-Friendly Shrimp Eggrolls
Are you craving some crispy, crunchy, and delicious shrimp eggrolls? With this easy recipe, you can make shrimp eggrolls for a fraction of the cost of buying them from a restaurant.
Ingredients
- 12 pieces cooked or uncooked shrimp
- 6 eggroll wrappers (square shape, cut in half)
- Creole seasoning (if not available see seasoning below)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 3 tbsp water (to help seal the eggrolls)
Creole seasoning alternative: salt, black pepper, onion, and garlic powder.
Dipping sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 1 tbsp sweet Thai chili sauce
- pinch Salt & pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp and creole seasoning. Toss until well seasoned.
- Grab six eggroll wrappers and cut them in half evenly in size.
- Place water in a small bowl.
- Place one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Add the shrimp with the tail out, and roll the wrapper around the shrimp from the bottom up, leaving 1/2 an inch for water to help seal the eggroll (tightly).
- Brush the edges of the wrapper with water.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining wrappers and shrimp.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over parchment paper medium heat.
- Fry the eggrolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Prepare the sauce at this time. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Drain the eggrolls on paper towels once done frying.
- Serve warm with the dipping sauce or any of your favorite condiments.
Notes
Tips:
- For a crispier eggroll, fry them in batches in hot oil.
- To prevent the eggrolls from sticking together, fry them in batches and place them on a wire rack to drain.
- Serve warm eggrolls with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, peanut sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
- Serve them with lettuce for a refreshing twist to the meal.
