Sarasota's Crunchy Hoisin Shrimp Rolls
- 24 -30 medium shrimp
- 2 teaspoons Chinese five spice powder
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 -4 spinach tortillas
- 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 12 cups napa cabbage, shredded (bagged coleslaw mix will also work)
- 1 seedless cucumber, seeds if any removed and julienned
- 12 cup water chestnut, julienned
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, fine chopped
- Shrimp -- In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil and spice and marinade 15-20 minutes.
- I like to use a grill pan, but you can also use an outdoor grill or even broil if that is all you have.
- Cook the shrimp just until they start to curl and turn pink.They only will take a couple of minutes per side and cook very fast.
- Remove from the heat once they are done, cool, and then rough chop.
- Cucumber -- Since cucumber is very watery - after cutting mine, I let them rest on a paper towel for just a minute or two to let the moisture get absorbed.
- Filling -- Mix the cucumber, water chestnuts, napa cabbage or coleslaw, cilantro and shrimp.
- Tortilla -- For an appetizer - Cut each one in half and then in half again - 4 pieces.
- Spread the hoisin sauce over each tortilla slice (don't go all the way to the edge) and then add a spoon of the filling.
- Roll up and secure with a tooth pick.
- NOTE: If the tortilla breaks or tears when rolled, just cover the tortillas with damp paper towel and microwave 10 seconds before trying to roll.
- They will soften right up.
- If making a sandwich for lunch, just use the whole tortilla, then cut in 1/2 to serve.
- Cover the sandwich immediately with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving.
- Serve -- Enjoy!
- They will be fine up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
