Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Voodoo Egg Rolls
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine crawfish or shrimp, andouille sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red bell pepper, red onion, cooked rice, Cajun seasoning, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are well-incorporated for even flavor distribution. Taste the filling and adjust seasoning as desired, setting the mixture aside while you prepare the egg roll wrappers.
  2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface in a diamond shape. Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the Voodoo Egg Rolls filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper, then fold up the bottom corner over the filling. Fold in the sides tightly, and roll it away from you, sealing the edge with a dab of water. Spot check for tightness, ensuring no filling escapes during frying.
  3. In a deep skillet or fryer, pour enough vegetable oil to submerge the egg rolls, ensuring it reaches about 2 inches in depth. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
  4. Once the oil is heated, gently lower each Voodoo Egg Roll seam-side down into the hot oil, frying them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  5. After frying, remove the Voodoo Egg Rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving warm alongside your favorite dipping sauces.
