Shrimp Egg Rolls
Make your favorite take-out dish right at home! Best of all, these can be baked or fried. Make a huge batch today and freeze as needed!
I could never understand why egg rolls are classified as an appetizer.
Because for me, well, I eat about 20 of these and call it dinner. No wait. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don’t you?
And if you can freeze these, then know that I’m in my kitchen all weekened making about 200 of these.
You just never know when you’re going to have that egg roll craving.
Shrimp Egg Rolls
Make your favorite take-out dish right at home! Best of all, these can be baked or fried. Make a huge batch today and freeze as needed!
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and roughly chopped
- 3 cups coleslaw mix
- ½ cup bean sprouts
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha, optional
- 18 egg roll wrappers
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, coleslaw mix, bean sprouts, celery, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, sesame oil and Sriracha.
- Working one at a time, place shrimp mixture in the center of each wrapper. Bring the bottom edge of the wrapper tightly over the filling, folding in the sides. Continue rolling until the top of the wrapper is reached. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrapper with water, pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and shrimp mixture.*
- Working in batches, add egg rolls to the Dutch oven and fry until evenly golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
*TO FREEZE: Place egg rolls in a single layer onto a baking sheet; freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Transfer to a Ziploc bag; freeze up to 3 months. To bake from frozen, increase baking time by 5-10 minutes.
*TO BAKE: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray. Place egg rolls onto the prepared baking and coat with nonstick spray. Place into oven and bake until golden, about 10 minutes.

Hey, I’m about to make these shrimp rolls. Can I use Hoisin sauce instead of oyster sauce?
Sure!
absolutely not no hoisin sauce
I made these in the air fryer at 400 for 10 minutes flipping after 5. They were a big hit! Making them again right now 🙂
Beautiful recipe is shrimp raw when put in bowl
Yes, that is correct.
Loved them, do you have recipe for the sauce that’s in the pic?
I used store-bought plum sauce.
HI! I would love to make it, but the print button doesn’t wooooorrrkkk~~ T.T
I tried printing from every device I have and no luck. Help please!
My apologies, Ria. We are trying to resolve this issue ASAP. Thank you so much for your patience.
Hi Chungah,
I wouldn’t wait to make it so, I did! I made these 2:30 in the morning and I gobbled down 5 on the spot! The best spring rolls out of my kitchen. Thank you so much!
That’s awesome!
So easy and delicious–no leftovers!!! Guess we’ll need to make them again 🙂 .
Thanks for the recipes!
Thanks for sharing!
Substitution for the oyster sauce? Or can I omit?
Yes, you can omit.
Is the shrimp the recipe raw or cooked?
The recipe calls for raw shrimp, not cooked.
Can these be baked first and then frozen for re-heating later? Have you tried this? Want to make sure they won’t fall apart.
I actually haven’t tried it like this – sorry! Let me know how it turns out if you decide to give it a try! 🙂
I’ve made these a couple times and they are awesome! One issue i have is that when i freeze them the wrap cracks so when i go to bake these later on the juices leak out and make the wrap soggy. Anyone experience this issue or have a trick to not make the wrapping crack when freezing these? I’m planning on making these again tonight and baking them fresh to see if I have this same issue.
Hi Michelle, we unfortunately don’t have a trick for freezing these. The dough might be too delicate for freezing. But let us know if you have the same issue when making them fresh!
They looks so TASTY!! I have made egg rolls with pork but never tried with shrimp. I’m imagining how delicious they are!
Cannot wait to try it XD
They are super delicious. Let us know how you like them!
Hi Chungah,
I need to make 200 egg rolls. If I freeze and then bake, are you saying to put oil in the pan that will go into the oven? Should I use a shallow pan or deep pan and covered or uncovered? Also, do I have to turn them in the oven? Lastly, when I freeze them, can I place parchment paper on top of one layer then add a second layer, or should they be frozen with only a few in each bag? I’m asking because I’m worried that they might stick to each other, but I know I have to prepare a lot. Sorry about so many questions. Thanks!
When you first freeze the egg rolls on a baking sheet for two hours, that should prevent any egg rolls sticking to one another when transferred to a Ziploc bag. If you bake the egg rolls, you will not be using the 1 cup vegetable oil (this is for frying only). The egg rolls can be baked uncovered, using a sheet pan preferably. If you are using multiple sheet pans, they should all be rotated to make sure all egg rolls are baked evenly as ovens tend to have varying hotspots.
Thanks so much!
How long in oven, and temperature for frozen
To bake from frozen, increase baking time by 5-10 minutes.
Can I mix up the day before or will it get mushy?
Yes, you can prep the mixture a day ahead. But I recommend placing it in the refrigerator to avoid any type of food spoilage.
What can I substitute for bean sprouts, our store does not carry fresh bean sprouts and I do no want to use canned bean sprouts? thank you for your great recipes.
You can omit!
Are the shrimp supposed to be cooked or raw?
You do not have to cook the shrimp prior to wrapping. Hope that helps!
Can you fry these, fully cool and then freeze? Then reheat as needed by baking or microwave followed by crisping in oven? Store bought frozen egg rolls we usually microwave per instructions and then crisp in pan. Would love to replicate that and have full control over ingredients.
I recommend freezing prior to cooking for the best results possible. Hope that helps!
Hi -huge fan here!
Wondering if I use ground pork if I should cook it prior to making the egg roll and frying? I see your comments on raw shrimp, but I know pork must be cooked through for health reasons.
Kelly
No, it does not have to be cooked prior to assembling.
Im alergic to shrimp can you use chicken and how do you do it or vegetarian
Yes, you can substitute ground chicken.
Made 36 of these. The bean sprouts ruined the flavor. Can’t find fresh bean sprouts anymore so I used the cans. Totally over powered the flavors.
Will make again, but omit the sprouts.
These sounds amazing. I wonder if I can use spring roll wraps and bake them. Hmmm.
I don’t know how to spring rolls actually. I should google how to use them before i mess it up.
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
I was wondering the same as I have the Vietnamese spring roll wrappers too (meant to order egg roll wrappers but made a mistake). From what I’ve found online you can use those and then either fry or air fry them.
I used to have a Vietnamese neighbor and she made Vietnamese rolls using those rice paper wraps and she deep fried them and they held together. I’m going to try this using those and I’ll let you know if they’re good! I might double them up to make them stronger, since they’re pretty thing compared to egg roll wrappers, wonton wrappers etc
Victoria
Since I can’t eat cabbage, would they still taste good if I used broccoli slaw mix?
Yes, absolutely!
