- 1 tsp garlic powder

- Cut the spring roll wrappers in half and separate them individually.
- Place a shrimp in the center of a wrapper half with the tail pointing out, fold in the top and bottom corners, and roll tightly to seal.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the shrimp in batches for approximately 5 minutes until they reach a deep golden brown color.
- Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander before serving hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
