A Crunchy, Flavor-Packed Appetizer That’s Impossible to Resist

A Fun and Flavorful Appetizer for Every Occasion

Looking for a crispy, savory appetizer that will wow your guests? These Crispy Garlic Shrimp Cigars are the answer!

Inspired by Mediterranean and Asian street food, these golden rolls are filled with garlic-marinated shrimp, wrapped in crispy pastry, and fried to perfection.

Whether you’re planning a party, brunch dessert platter, or a family snack night, these shrimp cigars deliver big flavor and the perfect crunch.

Though this isn’t a cream cheese coffee cake or an easy breakfast cake, it makes an excellent addition to any spread and pairs beautifully with dipping sauces.

 Ingredients

• 12–16 large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

• 1 tbsp soy sauce or oyster sauce

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tbsp chopped parsley or cilantro

• 8–10 spring roll wrappers or phyllo sheets

• 1 beaten egg (for sealing wrappers)

• Cooking oil (for frying)

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.
