Ingredients
Scale
12 egg roll wrappers
1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup cream cheese, softened
2 green onions, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Creamy Dipping Sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sour cream

1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp chopped chives

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, mozzarella, cream cheese, garlic, green onions, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chives until evenly mixed.
Place a generous spoonful of filling near one corner of each egg roll wrapper. Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and seal the edge with beaten egg.
Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crispy.
Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, chives, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Arrange the crispy shrimp rolls on a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh chives, and serve warm with the creamy dipping sauce.
Notes
Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor.
Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
