The best thing about these eggrolls is that you can make them out of shrimp, crab, chicken or just veggies. They are crispy without the added calories of frying.

I made them once & forgot to brush with the oil prior to baking – the egg rolls did not cook through complete and were a bit chewy. Not good!
Substitute crab or chicken for the shrimp
