egg rolls stuffed with spicy chicken or shrimp and veggies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken or shrimp (shredded or chopped)
  • 1 cup cabbage, shredded
  • ½ cup bell peppers (red/green), finely diced
  • ½ cup onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1–2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional for extra heat)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for sautéing)
  • 12–15 egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare filling: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell peppers, and garlic; sauté until softened.
  2. Add shredded cabbage and cook 2–3 minutes more. Stir in cooked chicken or shrimp, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and hot sauce. Mix well and cook another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let filling cool slightly.
  3. Assemble egg rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling onto the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  4. Fry: Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drain & serve: Remove to a paper towel–lined plate. Serve hot with ranch, remoulade, or spicy dipping sauce.

Would you like me to also include a quick “Voodoo” dipping sauce recipe to go with them?
