Shrimp Egg Rolls. This dish only requires four ingredients. If you are a shrimp fan, like I am, this is a great recipe. Looking for something that is easy to make? Will impress your guests? This is the recipe for you.
My family loves my Cambodian egg rolls. But, sometimes we run out of stuffing before I can finish the entire package of wrappers. Each package usually contains 25 to 30. Estimating how much stuffing is needed can be a bit of a challenge. My mom will occasionally rolls sandwich meat with the remaining wrappers.
I really hate that. I usually end up guessing which ones are the non-sandwich meat ones … and guess wrong. Meaning, I have to eat some with the sandwich meat. YUCK!
That’s when frozen shrimp comes to the rescue. These shrimp egg rolls are fun, because the tails stick out and you don’t have to guess. That means the people in my family who are allergic to shrimp won’t get an allergic reaction when biting into a shrimp egg roll.
One entire shrimp gets rolled up in a wrapper and shows the shrimp tail. Its really fun to see. The best part is eating an entire shrimp with a crispy “shell.” So good. They taste really good with that sweet soy dipping sauce I made earlier.

As long as you have enough shrimp in the freezer, you won’t have to worry about throwing away egg roll wrappers.
Simple, easy and a crowd pleaser. You can’t lose.
This sounds like a fun recipe to make and perfect for a summer appetizer.
Super simple. Elegant. Make lots.
Christina, like you I just love shrimps/prawns! Especially living here right beside the Arabian Sea – so beautiful fresh fish is here for the taking, but -and is there not always a BUT – nowhere can I get those wrappers!!!!!!! Any other suggestion?
