Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup crab meat, shredded (fresh is best)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 10 spring roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying

Optional Boosts

  • Old Bay seasoning or paprika for a little spice
  • Chopped parsley or cilantro for a fresh touch
  • A squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

  1. Mix the shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, cheddar, green onions, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce in a big bowl until smooth and creamy.
  2. Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface and spoon some filling in the center.
  3. Fold the sides over and roll tightly to seal the filling inside.
  4. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  5. Fry the rolls a few at a time until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Take them out and drain on paper towels. Serve warm!

Tip: Make sure the oil is hot enough—this keeps the rolls crispy. Pair with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or mango salsa for extra yum.

Serving Ideas

  • Fresh salad with cherry tomatoes and a light vinaigrette
  • Creamy coleslaw with a twist of apple or nuts
  • French fries or sweet potato fries for a crunchy side
  • Get creative with dipping sauces: garlic aioli, spicy remoulade, or mango salsa

Cooking Tips

  • Keep the puff pastry chilled for 20 minutes before rolling to keep its shape.
  • Brush with an egg wash for that golden, glossy finish.
  • Leave space between rolls on the pan to avoid sticking.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to stay crispy.
