- 1/2 lbs ground pork
- 2 1/2 tsp Creole seasoning
- 1 pack egg roll wrappers
Prepare
- Chop 1/4 cup red onions

- Mince 1 tsp garlic
- 1/2 lbs medium raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and roughly chopped

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large pan over medium heat, brown the ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Drain the fat from the pan into a heat-safe jar and discard.
-
Step 2.
Add the chopped red onions, diced green bell peppers, minced garlic, and Creole seasoning to the pan with the pork. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and peppers are tender, about 3–4 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Add the roughly chopped shrimp to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool slightly.
-
Step 4.
Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing toward you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
-
Step 5.
Pour the vegetable oil into a deep fryer or a deep, heavy-bottomed pan to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add a few egg rolls at a time, without crowding, and deep-fry until golden brown, turning occasionally, about 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to drain and cool.
-
Step 6.
Let the egg rolls cool on the wire rack for a few minutes, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce.
