Ingredients
Makes 8 rolls (Serves 4)
Main Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined
½ cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
For Wrapping & Coating
8 egg roll wrappers or spring roll sheets
1 egg (for sealing)
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Shrimp
Lightly sauté shrimp in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until just pink (about 2–3 minutes).
Set aside to cool slightly.
💡 This is your juicy flavor base – Don't overcook or shrimp will become tough!
2️⃣ Mix the Filling
In a bowl, combine:
Cream cheese
Mozzarella
Fresh parsley
Cooked shrimp (chopped into bite-sized pieces if preferred)
Mix until well combined. This creamy mix creates the perfect cheesy seafood bite!
3️⃣ Wrap It Tight
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of filling into the center.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
Seal the top edge with beaten egg.
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
💡 Roll tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying!
4️⃣ Coat and Fry
Set up a breading station:
Bowl 1: Flour
Bowl 2: Beaten egg
Bowl 3: Panko breadcrumbs
Dredge each roll in flour, dip in egg, then coat generously in panko.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry rolls for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
💡 These rolls bring next-level crunch and cheesy melt magic!
5️⃣ Serve Hot with Sauce
Plate immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Get ready for a viral-worthy appetizer that'll blow your guests away!
Tips for Perfect Shrimp Cheese Rolls
💡 Don't overcook the shrimp – They'll cook more during frying
💡 Seal edges well – Use egg wash to prevent bursting
💡 Keep oil at 350°F – Too hot and they'll burn; too cool and they'll be greasy
💡 Don't overfill – Makes rolling difficult and can cause leaks
💡 Work quickly – Keep wrappers covered to prevent drying
💡 Fry in batches – Don't overcrowd the pan
💡 Drain well – Place on paper towels to remove excess oil
