These very flavorful egg rolls are a special treat and one of our favorite hot hors d'ouerves. They can be partially fried for re-heating later or cooked until golden brown.
Ingredients
- 2 celery ribs, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1-1/2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Dash pepper
- Dash cayenne pepper
- 9 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for deep-fat frying
- sweet 'n' sour sauce:
- 1 can (12 ounces) apricot cake and pastry filling
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a large skillet, saute celery in butter until tender. Add shrimp and onions; cook until shrimp turns pink. Stir in the water chestnuts, peanut butter, salt, sugar, pepper and cayenne; heat through.
- Place 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of shrimp mixture in the center of one egg roll wrapper. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Fold bottom corner over filling. Fold sides toward center over filling. Moisten remaining corner with water; roll up tightly to seal. Repeat.
- In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry egg rolls, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Combine sauce ingredients; serve with egg rolls.
