Why you’ll love this shrimp roll appetizer recipe

The best thing about this recipe, aside from the delicious flavors, is of course how easy it is to make! Watch my Youtube video below and you’ll see for yourself how easy these really are. Between the rolls and the sauce itself , you truly cant go wrong with this recipe. The saying less is more is a actual factual in this situation! Alternatively, if you aren’t into fried foods, you can air fry these for 10 minutes on 360 degrees and you’ll have the same great rolls, just a bit healthier. I would recommend spraying them generously with cooking spray before air-frying them so they wont dry out and crack before you get to enjoy them.

Instructions

 

• Rinse your shrimp and pat dry. Take one shrimp at a time and cut shallow slits across the belly and straighten the shrimp out so it can be flatly rolled in the wrapper. Place all straightened shrimp in a bowl.
  
• Season shrimp and add green onion. Toss until all shrimp are nicely seasoned.
• Take an eggroll wrapper that's been cut and lay it like a sideways triangle. Lay the shrimp at the end of the triangle and roll halfway. Tuck in the pointed end, and continue to roll. Right before you get to the end, brush with a bit of egg wash and seal closed.
  
• Heat your oil to 350℉ and fry the shrimp rolls 10 at a time for about 2-2.5 minutes.
  
• For serving, add sweet Thai chili sauce, garlic, lime zest, and lime juice to a bowl and stir. Serve immediately.
