Sometimes I feel the afternoon slump hits like a rogue wave. You need something delicious, and satisfying, and won’t leave you feeling like you inhaled a brick, like the Shrimp Roll Chinese.
So yummy!!
These little bundles of joy are like tiny flavor parties in your mouth. Crispy on the outside, and bursting with juicy shrimp and crunchy veggies on the inside, they’re the perfect way to beat the hangry monster. I once dipped these rolls in Alfredo Sauce for Tortellini. It’s great though!
I remember being a little sous-chef, rolling up whatever filling we had into crispy wrappers. Fast forward to today, and I’ve turned that nostalgia into a recipe for the perfect shrimp spring rolls. They’re like a flavor-packed hug in every bite!

Ingredients Used to Make Shrimp Roll Chinese
Get your taste buds ready for a treat! Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delectable rolls:
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped water chestnuts
- 1 package spring roll wrappers (about 12 sheets)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
How to Make Shrimp Roll Chinese
- Prep the Shrimp Filling: Chop your shrimp into tiny pieces. Toss them with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, and garlic in a bowl. Add shredded carrots, green onions, and water chestnuts. Give it a good mix until everything is well combined.
- Wrap ‘Em Up: Lay out a spring roll wrapper. Scoop a spoonful of your shrimp mixture onto the center. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
- Fry to Crispy Perfection: Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the rolls, a few at a time, until they’re golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Enjoy the Crunch: Serve these crispy shrimp rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce—soy sauce, sweet and sour, or even a spicy chili dip!
See? Easy as pie (or should I say, easy as shrimp roll?). So next time the snack attack hits, ditch the processed stuff and whip up a batch of these delicious Chinese Shrimp Rolls.

Making Shrimp Egg Rolls Your Way
Shrimp egg rolls are another popular variation of this crispy delight, and you can easily transform your shrimp rolls into this classic dish with just a few tweaks. Here are some quick tips:
- Add Scrambled Egg: Incorporate scrambled egg into your shrimp mixture to create a richer, heartier filling. The combination of shrimp and egg delivers a fantastic flavor and texture, making these rolls irresistible.
- Experiment with Veggies: If you love a more veggie-packed roll, feel free to add extras like cabbage or mushrooms for additional crunch and flavor. The versatility of these rolls allows you to get creative with your fillings.
- Bake Instead of Frying: For a lighter version of these shrimp spring rolls, bake them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes. You’ll still get that crispy exterior without the extra oil, making it a healthier option that doesn't sacrifice flavor.
By adapting these small changes, you can enjoy shrimp egg rolls that are perfectly suited to your taste and dietary preferences.
