How to Make Pork Shrimp Shanghai

Traditional Filipino Egg Rolls made even more interesting! You can also fix this recipe to have even more bits of shrimp into the pork mixture, or freeze these before frying if you want to keep these for longer. These are great to make before a party or special occasions, or on days you want a quick crispy fix to delight in after a long day at work. You can even bake this or fry these in an air fryer after brushing these with a bit of oil ( on all sides ).

To make this Pork and Shrimp Shanghai dish; start with the pork filling made of ground pork, spring onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and an egg. Mix until these are quite sticky and well combined. Set this aside to help the flavors blend well together. Prepare the shrimps by removing the vein using the toothpick, piercing the middle of the curve of shrimp and pulling the grayish or black-ish string out. Give this a shallow cut following the curve and on the opposite side. Remove any veins or ‘poop’ string if you see these. Flatten these a bit before topping this with the pork mixture. Prepare the wrappers by folding these into half-triangles. Slice or cut these in half. Place once shrimp in one half or a piece of wrapper. Place the middle point towards the shrimp, then fold one half towards the other end, then roll the shrimp until it reaches the other end, seal with a bit of water. You’ll get a typical Filipino Egg Roll but with one end opened and a shrimp tail hanging out.

You can stop here and place them in an airtight container or ziplock bag to keep in the freezer to fry the next day, or whenever you need it to be cooked. Do remember to thaw this out a bit until slightly soft before frying. But if you’d like to cook it now, make sure that the pan or pot at medium heat already has a hot enough oil that’s at least half an inch high. Place in the Shanghai rolls and fry for 8 – 10 minutes, flipping in the middle if needed. Once both sides look golden and crisp, take these out. 

This Pork Shanghai recipe can be enjoyed with a drizzle of Japanese mayo, bonito flakes, and chopped spring onions for a pop of color. You can also exchange the mayo with some sweet and sour sauce, sriracha, or any sauce of your choice. Serve as is as an appetizer, a rice topping, or a bar snack to side with an iced cold drink or beer. These also make for a good small business project since these can be kept in the freezer for a period of time.
