SHRIMP EGG ROLLS (SIMPLE AND FAST)
These egg rolls are so easy. They taste great. Once you eat these you just may not ever want store-bought or restaurant egg rolls ever again. These are the best egg rolls I have ever had. Hope you like! I normally use Azumaya or Nasoya brand egg roll wrappers. They work and taste great. This recipe goes great with recipe #104944. I have also used apricot jelly in place of pineapple preserves for that recipe since I can never seem to find pineapple preserves.

SHRIMPYLICIOUS EGG ROLLS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Put slaw mix in a large microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and microwave for 2 minutes. Drain any excess water from the bowl. Add all of the other ingredients except the wrappers and optional sauce, mix well, and set aside. For a more intense flavor, allow the mixture to marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Prepare a large baking sheet by spraying it lightly with nonstick spray. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Evenly distribute about 1/2 cup of the mixture onto the wrapper, in a row a little below the center. Moisten all four edges by dabbing your fingers in water and going over the edges smoothly. Fold the sides of each wrapper about 3/4 inch towards the middle, to keep the mixture from falling out of the sides. Then, roll the bottom of each wrapper up around the mixture, and continue rolling until you reach the top. Seal the outside edge with another dab of water. Carefully transfer egg roll to the baking sheet.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling, making sure you have a clean, dry surface each time.
- Spray the tops of the egg rolls with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly. If you like, dip the egg rolls in some sweet and sour sauce!

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a more delicate flavor and texture than frozen shrimp. If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before using.
- Chop the shrimp finely: This will help the shrimp cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to your egg rolls. Some good options include cabbage, carrots, celery, and onions.
- Don't overfill the egg rolls: If you overfill them, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open during frying.
- Fry the egg rolls in hot oil: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Serve the egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce: Some good options include sweet and sour sauce, duck sauce, or soy sauce.
Conclusion:
Shrimp egg rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen for later. With a little practice, you can make perfect shrimp egg rolls that your family and friends will love.
