Creamy Shrimp Cheese Rolls
🛒 What You’ll Need🍤
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined 🍤
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened 🥛
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese 🧀
- Spring roll wrappers or thin flour tortillas 🌯
- 1 tsp Garlic powder & ½ tsp Smoked paprika 🧄
- 1 Egg, beaten (to seal the edges) 🥚
- Oil for frying 🍳
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish 🌿
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Shrimp: Season your shrimp with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. For the best “roll,” keep the shrimp whole or chop them slightly if they are extra large. 🍤🧂
- The Creamy Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the shredded mozzarella until smooth. 🥣🌪️🧀
- Assemble: Lay your wrapper flat. Place a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center and top with 1-2 seasoned shrimp. 🍤🤝🧀
- The Perfect Roll: Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Use a dab of the beaten egg to seal the edge so no cheese escapes! 🌯📐🥚
- The Golden Fry: Heat oil in a skillet to medium-high. Fry the rolls for 2–3 minutes per side until they are deeply golden and the cheese is beautifully molten as seen in the photo! ⏲️📈🤤
- Garnish & Serve: Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately while they’re hot and stretchy! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Melty” Secret: Don’t overstuff! A little cheese goes a long way, and leaving a bit of room helps prevent the rolls from bursting in the hot oil. 🧀🛡️💎
- The “Crunch” Secret: Make sure your oil is hot before adding the rolls. If the oil is too cool, the wrappers will absorb the grease and lose that signature light, airy crunch! 🍤🎯✨
