Notes

Chop shrimp evenly: Uniform pieces ensure proper distribution throughout the filling.
Don’t overfill wrappers: Too much filling can cause the egg rolls to burst open during frying.
Seal wrappers tightly: Use water or cornstarch paste along the edges to ensure a secure seal.
Adjust spice level: Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the filling for extra heat.
