Equipment

  • Medium pot

Ingredients

  • 16 large shrimp shelled, deveined, & tail on
  • 8 ounces ground pork
  • 1-2 stalks scallion finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt (use less for table salt)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 8 lumpia or spring roll wrappers (8-inch square)
  • Neutral oil
  • Dipping sauce

Instructions

  • Mix the pork, scallions, seasonings, egg, and cornstarch.
  • Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on.
  • Wrap each shrimp with the meat mixture in a lumpia wrapper and roll tightly.
  • Fry over medium-high heat, in batches, until golden and crisp. Once sizzling, lower to medium heat so the lumpia cooks through without browning too quickly.
  • Drain on a wire rack or paper towels and serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Shrimp: Use large tail-on shrimp for a juicier bite.
  • Lumpia wrappers: Use 8-inch lumpia or spring roll wrappers.
  • Dipping sauce: Serve with sweet chili sauce, mayo-Sriracha, banana ketchup, lechon sauce, or spiced vinegar.
 
Cooking Tips
  • Use large shrimp so they stay juicy.
  • Make shallow cuts under the shrimp to keep them straight.
  • Roll tightly so the filling stays in place.
  • Start over medium-high heat, then lower once sizzling.
  • Fry in batches so the lumpia stays crisp.
