Crispy Garlic Butter Shrimp & Cheese Stuffed Rolls
Ingredients
Method
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Toss with paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until pink, opaque, and lightly golden. Finish with fresh lemon juice, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Roughly chop half of the cooked shrimp and fold them into the cheese mixture. Keep the remaining shrimp whole for that beautiful, chunky seafood-filled center.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon a generous portion of the creamy cheese mixture into the center, then arrange 1–2 whole shrimp on top.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in both sides, and roll tightly into a thick rectangular shape. Brush the final corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
- Lightly dust each roll with flour, brush with beaten egg, and gently press into panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Make sure the seams are tightly sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during frying.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the rolls in batches for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until deeply golden brown, crispy, and heated through. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain.
- Allow the fried rolls to rest for 2–3 minutes. Carefully slice a few rolls diagonally to reveal the juicy pink-orange shrimp surrounded by thick, creamy melted cheese.
- Arrange the crispy shrimp and cheese rolls on a large white serving plate. Place the sliced rolls in front with their creamy shrimp-filled centers facing the camera, and stack the remaining golden rolls behind them.
- Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and a little freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately while the outside is crunchy, the shrimp are juicy, and the cheese is warm, creamy, and delicious!
