Creamy Shrimp Cheese Rolls (Print Version)

Tender shrimp and cheese blend wrapped in a crispy golden shell, perfect for a savory and melty snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Seafood

01 - 250 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined

→ Dairy

02 - 113 grams cream cheese, softened
03 - 85 grams shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Herbs & Spices

04 - 15 grams fresh parsley, chopped
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - ½ teaspoon salt
07 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Baking & Coating

08 - 6 egg roll wrappers
09 - 1 large egg, beaten
10 - 60 grams all-purpose flour
11 - 90 grams panko breadcrumbs

→ Oils

12 - 480 milliliters vegetable oil, for frying

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Sauté shrimp in a pan over medium heat with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until they turn pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
02 - In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped parsley, and the cooked shrimp. Chop shrimp into smaller pieces if preferred, and mix until well incorporated.
03 - Place egg roll wrappers on a flat surface and spoon a generous amount of filling onto the center of each. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing edges with beaten egg to prevent filling leakage during frying.
04 - Lightly dredge each roll in flour, dip into beaten egg, then coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs to ensure a crunchy crust.
05 - Heat vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F) and fry rolls in batches for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
06 - Serve rolls immediately with preferred dipping sauce such as garlic aioli, spicy mayo, or ranch for a warm, crispy appetizer.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Toast panko breadcrumbs lightly before coating to enhance crunch and add subtle nuttiness.
02 - Do not overfill wrappers to prevent bursting during frying.
03 - Maintain oil temperature steadily at 175°C (350°F) to ensure even frying and avoid greasy rolls.
