Crispy Shrimp Spring Rolls Made Easy at Home

Nothing quite compares to the satisfying crunch of a freshly made spring roll, and making them at home can be easier than you might think. With a handful of ingredients, you can whip up a delightful batch of crispy shrimp spring rolls that will impress your friends and family.

Start with some plump, succulent shrimp—peeled and deveined—marinated briefly in a splash of soy sauce, a hint of garlic, and a touch of lime juice for an explosion of flavour. While the shrimp are marinating, prepare your filling with shredded carrots, finely sliced bell peppers, and a handful of fresh coriander. These vibrant vegetables not only add colour but contribute essential crunch to your rolls.

Once your filling is ready, it’s time to assemble. Take rice paper wraps, soak them briefly in warm water until they’re pliable, and lay them flat on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of your shrimp and vegetable mixture in the centre, fold in the sides, and roll them tightly to encase everything within.

For that perfect crispy texture, heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan. Once hot, gently place a few rolls at a time into the pan, frying until they turn a golden brown. Serve them hot with a homemade dipping sauce of sweet chilli and a splash of lime, and watch as they disappear from the plate in no time. Whether as an appetiser or a light meal, these crispy shrimp spring rolls are sure to become a favourite in your household!
