Description
Delicious homemade shrimp egg rolls filled with fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound raw shrimp (Peeled and deveined and roughly chopped into chunks.)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 cups coleslaw mix
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (Or liquid aminos)
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (You can use up to a tablespoon of fresh ginger)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 12–14 egg roll wrappers (Some egg roll wrap brands are really thin. You may need to double wrap your egg rolls.)
- 1 small cup water
- Cooking oil (I use olive oil.)
Instructions
- Place a skillet on medium-high heat and spritz with cooking oil.
- Add the shrimp chunks to the pan along with the salt and pepper to taste.
- Saute for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp is bright pink. Add the garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant.
- Remove the shrimp and garlic and set aside.
- Add the coleslaw mix to a large mixing bowl along with the cooked shrimp, soy sauce, fish sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and green onions. Mix. Allow the shrimp mix to cool before loading it into the egg roll wrappers.
- Lay the egg roll wrappers (diagonally) on a dry, flat surface. Some egg roll wraps are really thin and flimsy. Monitor yours to determine if you may need to double wrap the egg rolls.
- I like to glaze the edges of each wrapper with a small amount of water. This will make them easier to roll. I use a cooking brush. You can also use your fingers.
- Place 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each wrapper. Seal and close the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle. Fold two opposite corners together to make a triangle, fold the sides in and then roll tightly. Use additional water if the wrapper becomes tough to roll. Repeat for each egg roll.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place the egg rolls on the pan and spritz them with cooking oil.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
- Add the egg rolls to the basket. Do not stack or crowd the basket. Cook in batches if needed.
- Spritz the top of the egg rolls with cooking oil.
- Air fry on 400 degrees for 7 minutes.
- Open the air fryer and flip the egg rolls. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until crisp. Every air fryer brand will cook at varying speeds. Monitor your egg rolls to determine the appropriate time needed for your batch.
Notes
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste.
- Keep an eye on the egg rolls while baking or air frying.
