I think more people get confused over the difference between Egg Rolls and Spring Rolls as I did. I looked up the difference on Wikipedia. Basically Egg Rolls contain more veggies such as Bok Choy, etc. The wrappers for Spring Rolls are also different (thinner). But I made mine like egg rolls without the Bok Choy and used Egg Roll wrappers. Turned out great! Tasted just like the Spring Rolls we get in our Vietnamese restaraunts here in Houston. Made a couple of dozen that I froze instead of frying. Next time I get hungry for Egg Rolls, I'll take them out of the freezer and pop them into my Fry Daddy!

These were good. I doubled the recipe, and skipped the water chestnuts (not a fan of them). Shrimp is hard to judge by weight, so I just ended up using 2 cups chopped. I also tried to cut the fat by baking the rolls...not such a great idea, the wrappers stayed kinds chewy...but the meat inside was good!
