🥢 Ingredients
1 cup cooked crawfish tails or shrimp, chopped
½ cup andouille sausage, finely diced
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons bell pepper, finely chopped (optional for color & crunch)
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning (Tony Chachere’s or Slap Ya Mama recommended)
Pinch of salt & black pepper, to taste
6–8 egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying
Optional Dipping Sauces
Spicy remoulade, ranch, or sweet chili sauce
🔥 Directions
1. Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine crawfish or shrimp, andouille sausage, cheddar, green onions, bell pepper, garlic, and seasonings. Stir until well mixed.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water. Repeat.
3. Heat the Oil
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pan to 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry to Golden Perfection
Carefully place egg rolls in hot oil, frying 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
5. Serve Hot
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and garnish with extra chopped green onions, if you like.
🌶️ Tips & Variations
Swap crawfish for all shrimp or lump crab meat if preferred.
For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to a month. Fry from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to cooking time.
Air fryer option: Spray with oil and cook at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
