Ingredients
  • 12 Egg roll wrappers
  • 1 lb Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 Avocado, diced
  • 1/2 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Carrot, shredded
  • 3 Green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
  • 3 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced avocado, sliced red bell pepper, shredded carrot, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.

Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one point facing you. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the shrimp mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners. Wet the top corner with a little water and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Spicy Mayo

While the egg rolls are frying, prepare the spicy mayo. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sriracha. Adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired level of spiciness. Mix well.

Serve

Serve the shrimp and avocado egg rolls hot with the spicy mayo dipping sauce. Enjoy!

    Absolutely! Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables, such as bean sprouts, cabbage, or water chestnuts.
  • Can I make these egg rolls ahead of time?
