Shrimp Rolls Recipe
These shrimp rolls are juicy, flavorful, and sooo crispy. The perfect appetizer!
Servings 46 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 lbs raw shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine I used red wine
- 46 spring roll (NOT egg roll) wrappers this recipe makes 4 less than a 50 wrapper package of spring roll wrappers
Instructions
- Chop your shrimp, place in a medium bowl, and add all your other ingredients.
- Mix.
- Working on a clean surface (I worked on a large wooden cutting board) lay your wrapper out in front of you in a diamond shape. Prep a small dish of water as well.
- Arrange 1 Tbsp shrimp mixture in a horizontal line a quarter of the way up from the bottom corner closest to you. The length of the shrimp line determines how long your roll will be. I like them on the longer, thinner side. Wet all the corners of the wrapper well.
- Fold your bottom corner well over the shrimp line. Fold them over more than you see on this picture, by the way. I still had amateur shrimp roll maker issues when I took it, LOL.
- Fold the two horizontal corners over and lay them on your shrimp line.
- Roll up the shrimp roll, shaping it as you roll. Use water as needed to make the edge stick.
- Place in the freezer until ready to use. Cover if storing them for a while.
To fry:
- Heat your oil to 375 degrees F.
- Fry shrimp rolls for 4 min, until they’re beautifully golden brown. Try your best to maintain the heat so it keeps at 375.
- Place into a paper towel lined dish to drain grease.
- Serve fresh with Thai sweet chili dipping sauce. Enjoy!
