Deep-Fried Shrimp Rolls – 3 Ingredient Deep Fried Shrimp Rolls is on top of my list as my Christmas dinner appetizer. And why not? It only has 3 ingredients, it is very easy to make and super delicious. Also, I can make it ahead of time and just freeze them.
Deep-Fried Shrimp Rolls
I can’t believe it is almost Christmas! How time flies and I am anticipating all the goodies that I will be making for our Christmas dinner. I will be making this Refrigerator Cake for sure, and this Lumpia; and of course this 3 Ingredient Deep Fried Shrimp Rolls. This is a must because of its simplicity. It is only made with three ingredients. This Shrimp Spring roll is a type of appetizer that will please any type of guest. Kids and adults alike will love this appetizer… even those guest who hates seafood will be inclined to try this.
This appetizer starts with simple spices: Paprika, Garlic Salt, and Chinese Five spices. It is then wrapped with an Asian Spring Roll Wrapper. You can use the Wonton Spring rolls sold in your supermarket, but it is not as crispy, though.
You can cook this appetizer immediately; but as for myself, I prepare it ahead of time and freeze it until I am ready to fry them. The secret to its crisp is to serve them immediately. I don’t let this good-ness sit for a long time because I am afraid it will lose its crunch. Dip it with your Sweet and Sour Sauce or any salad dressing that you have at home and its goodness still shines. Enjoy it.

Hi, Molly. For the fish balls, you have to cook it ahead of time by boiling and you can freeze it. If you are ready to cook it, you can fry it right away, or thaw it. Here is the recipe for the sweet chili sauce https://theskinnypot.com/sweet-chili-sauce-recipe/ and here is the recipe with the attached video on how to wrap the lumpia https://theskinnypot.com/easy-delicious-lumpia-recipe/

Recipe for a dipping sauce for this? I prefer homemade even if it contains a bottled ingredient. Haven’t tried this shrimp recipe yet, but looks great.
Shobelyn Dayrit says
You can! Pepper, salt, paprika, or anything you like.

Can I substitute the five Chinese spice for some other spice?
Shobelyn Dayrit says
Hi, Shenequa. I think it will be unique taste with the cheese; but it will take away the shrimps taste and it will be salty. Personally, I don’t recommend it, because I don’t really like the combination of shrimp and gooey cheese, but it is so cool to know how it turns out-just for kicks. Besides, cooking is an adventure- you can do an experiment. 🙂
Shenequa Smalls says
How do you think it would turn out if I added butter slices to the shrimp and roll them, then freeze and then fry?
Shobelyn Dayrit says
Hi! I really think it will work, but have not tried it.

Sounds good. Let me how it turns out. I don’t have air fryer, so I don’t know if it turns out not soggy.
Heather M. Whipple says
This would be great done in my air fryer.
On the temperature for seafood. I will omit the Chinese 5 spice though I do not like spicy foods. And with Crohn’s disease I do not want to take a chance with to spicy foods. I just will use some ancho chili powder instead sometimes .

Yes, you can but the problem with the egg roll wrapper is they become really hard; I tried using it with Lumpia before. so I advise that if you use the bigger Egg Roll Wrapper, cut it small,like divide to 4, so that it will not be too thick.

Can you use egg roll wrappers?
Shobelyn Dayrit says
You can fry them while frozen.
Sally says
Looks great but can they be fried in frozen, or when freshly made?
Shobelyn Dayrit says
I got mine in an Asian store, but I saw some in the Asian and Mexican section in your grocery store.
anG says
Where do you get Five Chinese Spice at ?
Shobelyn Dayrit says
I just use the sweet and sour Asian sauce you get in the store. https://nuts.com/images/auto/801×534/assets/35bdcdbd73cf3a61.jpg
