# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • The spicy kick from andouille meets sweet shrimp in every crispy bite
  • Fried golden and served with a sauce that pulls everything together perfectly
02 -
  • Overfilling wrappers causes them to burst during frying, so resist the temptation to stuff them
  • Letting the filling cool completely makes rolling easier and prevents soggy wrappers
03 -
  • Freeze uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a bag for up to 3 months and fry straight from frozen
  • Drain fried egg rolls on a wire rack instead of paper towels for maximum crispiness
