Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp Filling

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and parsley.
Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.

Step 2: Wrap the Shrimp

Lay out a spring roll wrapper or phyllo sheet.
Place a shrimp on one end. Roll tightly into a cigar shape, folding in the sides as you go.
Seal the edge with a bit of beaten egg.

Repeat with remaining shrimp.

Step 3: Fry the Cigars

Heat cooking oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the shrimp cigars in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.

Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

️ Step 4: Serve

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces: sweet chili sauce, garlic aioli, or soy dipping sauce.
