Instructions

1️⃣ Preparing the Shrimp:

If Frying:

1. Pat defrosted shrimp dry. Toss in cornstarch until covered.
2. Heat oil in a shallow skillet until hot.
3. Carefully cook shrimp in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
4. Once cooked, place the shrimp onto a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all shrimp are cooked.

If Not Frying:

1. Run defrosted shrimp under cold water for 5 minutes.
2. Pat dry and set aside.

2️⃣ Making the Bang Bang Sauce:

1. In a jar or bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sugar.
2. Stir until well combined.
3. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

3️⃣ Assembling the Egg Rolls:

1. Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface.
2. Add about 2 TBS of cabbage mix to the center, followed by 2 TBS shrimp, a slice of pepper jack cheese, and a drizzle of the bang bang sauce.
3. Carefully wrap the egg roll, keeping it tight to prevent the ingredients from falling out.
4. Dip your finger in water and run it along the final/top corner of the egg roll to seal it.
5. Repeat the process for all 12 egg rolls.

4️⃣ Frying the Egg Rolls:

1. In a frying skillet or pot, add oil and heat over medium for about 5 minutes to 325°F.
2. Carefully drop the egg rolls into the skillet, cooking 4-5 at a time to avoid crowding.
3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook another 2 minutes or until browned.
4. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat for all egg rolls.

5️⃣ Serving:
