These egg rolls are deliciously crispy with a creamy center that will have you coming back for the whole plate! The best part of this recipe is how easy they are to make! With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these for your next get together!
The filling is so simple! First, take your cooked shrimp and chop into small pieces. In a small mixing bowl, add your 8 oz block of softened (room temp) cream cheese. To that, add in 1/4 cup of sriracha, 1/2 cup chopped scallions, 1/4 cup diced jalapeño, your chopped shrimp, a pinch of salt, and 1 tsp of garlic powder.
Give this a good mix until everything is combined! Next, take your egg roll wrappers and place in a diamond shape, not the square side. You want one of the corners pointing up. Spoon the mixture into the wrapper carefully not over stuffing. I found about 2 tbsp was about the max.
Gently fold in the edges and roll upwards. Before sealing the egg roll, wet the outer corner so when you roll it, it will seal completely. Fry these in oil on medium to high heat. You do not want the oil to be on the hottest setting for the outside will burn before the whole egg roll is cooked, but you want it to be warm enough to start to bubble when you drop in the egg roll.
Fry these until golden brown and crispy about 5 minutes. Take them out and serve with your favorite sweet chili sauce!

These look great! DO you have a sweet chili sauce recipe?
I used a store-bought chili sauce in the Asian Isle!
Can these be frozen, and if so cooked or uncooked. Thanks
These can be frozen! I would recommend cooked. Then reheat in an air fryer or oil
