Shrimp Egg Rolls with Peanut Sauce
Guess what?!?! My baby girl came over to visit her mama!!! I had to make a yummy recipe for this sweet first born child of mine, so I went with Shrimp Egg Rolls with Peanut Sauce.
As you can tell from the picture above, we are a couple of goofs 🙂
How to Make Shrimp Egg Rolls with Peanut Sauce
The Peanut Sauce is super simple to make.
Just whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sweet Thai chili sauce, ginger and garlic paste, and lime juice.
It’s SO yummy and would be good just on a spoon!
The filling for the egg rolls starts with some jumbo shrimp in a skillet.
Once they are cooked, remove them and chop them up.
Next into the skillet goes some red cabbage, shredded carrots, cilantro, red pepper, and garlic and ginger paste.
This will cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Then toss the chopped shrimp back in and let it cool a bit before filling the egg roll wrappers.
Alright, are you ready for my attempt at a step by step demo on how to roll egg rolls?!
Here goes…
First place some of the delicious filling in the center of an egg roll wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and trace around the edges of the wrapper.
This will help hold it together.
Fold in both corners…
Then fold the corner that’s facing toward you over top of the filling.
Finally roll it up and press the edges to make sure they are sealed!
Now we are ready to fry them up to crispy golden crunchy perfection.
In a small skillet fill about 1 inch deep with vegetable oil.
Turn the heat to medium and wait about 5 minutes.
The oil should be right around 350 degrees.
They need about 2 minutes per side, then remove and place over paper towels to drain the extra oil.
Serve these shrimp egg rolls with the peanut sauce and enjoy 🙂
