Baked or Fried Shrimp Egg Rolls

Crispy, savory, egg rolls come together in just minutes, and can be either baked or fried for a great meal or snack!

Serve with beef lo mein, chicken fried rice, or egg drop soup for a fun meal!

Shrimp and veggie egg rolls that can be baked or fried for perfect results every time
First of all, I just want to say I am in love. I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it. (Elf…anyone? anyone?) But seriously. I have always loved anything Asian inspired or themed, and egg rolls are always rating up high on my list. It is  stuffed full of yummy goodness, but also because they are deep fried. Wontons rate high for the same reason even if I hate the consequences of deep fried.

But…one amazing thing about these particular egg rolls is they are great baked or fried!!!

What Goes In These Egg Rolls

  • Shrimp: Delicious and easy, cooks quickly, and is great for a meal.
  • Broccoli Slaw: These egg rolls are a bit of a spin off the traditional as I use a broccoli slaw instead of cabbage.
  • Flavor: I sauté the broccoli slaw in butter with garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and honey to get a lovely added flavor. They are so good they don’t have to be fried, although you can if you want!

Making shrimp and veggie egg rolls

Easy Egg Rolls

These egg rolls not only taste great, but are so easy to put together. Everything is almost already put together.

  • Slaw mix: I buy the broccoli slaw mix (i.e no chopping, shredding, or peeling).
  • Already cooked shrimp: Get the already shelled ones for even easier results.
  • Already made egg roll wrappers: I just buy them, and fill, and roll! So simple.

Basically the only thing I had to do was sauté the ingredients, and make the dipping sauce! With this busy season, convenience is so important. And these fit the bill!

Bake or Fried

The beauty of this recipe is it can be baked or fried. You can simply deep fry them until golden brown, or rub them with some butter and bake until golden.

Either way they will be crispy, delicious, and so good!

How to Roll Egg Rolls

  1. Lay the egg roll wrapper out like a diamond.
  2. Place about a 2 Tablespoons of the mixture in the middle of the egg roll wrapper.
  3. Use your finger or small brush to spread some water on the outside edges of the wrapper.
  4. Fold one corner of the egg roll wrapper over, toward the opposite side.
  5. Once you fold that corner over, use your hand and slightly roll things back to tighten up and firm up the mixture so you get a nice tight roll.
  6. Fold side corners in, and finish rolling.

Great egg rolls, dipped in a great sauce, shrimp and veggies

Variations

  • Different Protein:  Sub in any cooked protein. I made a chicken version as well as the shrimp because I have one child who is not a fan of prawns. But everyone loved them and scarfed them down.
  • Extra Veggies: While the broccoli slaw is an excellent addition, you can literally add any extra vegetables in that you would like. I love adding carrots and cabbage
  • Other Dipping Sauces:  We love dipping these in teriyaki sauce, or sweet and sour  sauce as well.

When to Eat These:

Perfect after school snack.

And I felt great about them because they are chock full of veggies!  I am pretty sure it is safe to say that you will love these! All of my many taste testers agree they are a “must-make” item!

With your favorite Asian inspired dish.

We love eating these with anything  Asian inspired.

    Making my own egg rolls at home is one thing that I have not tried yet! I would have never thought that they would be this easy to make. :) And I love that you used I Can't Believe It's Not Butter to make your homemade version healthier than take-out.

      Thanks Carrie! You should really try it. I don't know that I am up for making my own wrappers yet, but buying the broccoli slaw mix and the wrappers already done makes it so simple!

      Oh my gosh, Yvonne! That would be so fun. After the holidays? I know that is like 2 months away, but we are always crazy busy during this time of year. 3 of my 4 kids have birthdays, and we have our anniversary, plus the holidays, and my husband is always gone in December because...well...restaurants are sorta busy in December. Haha But seriously. Let's do that!!! You can bring cheesecake for dessert! Lol

      Thank you Marion. I like it better than cabbage. I used a fryer, but I made them baked as well. They are great either way!!

    Do you have any pictures of the baked version that you can post? Is the baked version really crispy and is it necessary to turn the egg rolls in the over during the baking process?

      Dasme, It is not as crispy as frying, though you could do an egg wash on them or brush them with olive oil to help them crisp up more. I think turning them helps them crisp more.

    Had 12 people over for the game. I have a large deep fryer for deep frying turkeys in that I use for fried foods for entertaining. I quadrupled the recipie and added a bag of bean sprouts. it made 40 shrimp rolls. Deep fried in 2 batches of 20. They were all gone in 15 minutes. Everybody had to have a copy of the recepie before they went home. Simply put.....AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
