Shrimp Egg Rolls (Simple and Fast)

birdie #3 (andrea)'s Note:

These egg rolls are so easy. They taste great. Once you eat these you just may not ever want store-bought or restaurant egg rolls ever again. These are the best egg rolls I have ever had. Hope you like! I normally use Azumaya or Nasoya brand egg roll wrappers. They work and taste great. This recipe goes great with Sweet and Sour Sauce (For Dipping Egg Rolls and More). I have also used apricot jelly in place of pineapple preserves for that recipe since I can never seem to find pineapple preserves.

This was very good, but the calorie count of 767 is WAY OFF for 1 egg roll. (That's almost the number of calories in a stick of butter!) It's more like 200 calories.

You should use beaten egg whites to seal the egg rolls. This will keep them from coming apart. I usually make lumpia...Great Recipe...

This was a fun project. I used a coleslaw mix instead of the cabbage, sprouts and carrots. The filling was good, but they unrolled in the oil, causing them to absorb more grease. Will try again. Thanks for the posting!
