Special Notes
These crispy shrimp egg rolls are perfect as an appetizer or party food. The key is to make sure the filling is completely cool before wrapping to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy. You can also bake these instead of frying - brush with oil and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes. The egg rolls can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for a few hours before frying. Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
