Shrimp Eggrolls

I love homemade eggrolls. They are a little bit of work to make, but soooo worth it! I tried a new variation last week and LOVED it.

What you will need:
1 package eggroll wrappers
1/2 head of cabbage, shredded
2-3 carrots, shredded
2 medium stalks celery, diced
1 lb. shrimp, deveined
soy sauce
fish sauce (optional)
butter, for cooking shrimp
oil for frying

Saute shrimp in hot pan with butter until nearly done, about 1 1/2 minutes a side. Pre-cooked shrimp can be used.
Remove shrimp from pan and dice into 1/2 pieces.
In large pan or pot put in cabbage, carrots, and celery. Pour over the top about 1-2 tablespoons fish sauce and about 1/3-1/2 cup soy sauce, depending on your taste. Cover and and let steam, stirring occasionally.
Once cabbage is softened add shrimp, take off heat and toss until combined.
Fill egg roll wrappers and fry. This filling will be enough for the whole package of wrappers, well stuffed.
Serve with soy sauce, plum sauce or any other Asian sauce you like.
