Firecracker Shrimp

This festive appetizer, which is great for any occasion, looks just like a firecracker!Number of Servings: 2Ingredients: 12 Large Shrimp, in the shell1 teaspoon salt½ teaspoon garlic salt, divided4 sheets spring roll wrappers24 carrot strips (3 x ¼ inch)1 egg beatenDipping Sauce¼ cup mayonnaise2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce3 cups vegetable or canola oil for fryingInstructions: Removing the shells and leaving the tail intact, make a deep cut lengthwise down the back of each shrimp; wash out the sand vein. Place warm water in a bowl and add the salt, stir to desolve. Place the shrimp in the salt water and swirl. Leave the shrimp in the salt water for 5 minutes, then rinse with cold water, drain, and pat dry on paper towels. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon garlic salt. Cut each spring roll wrapper into thirds, making 3 long, narrow strips. Place the carrot strips in a small bowl, sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon garlic salt, and set aside. Brush the egg at the top of the shrimp. Place 2 carrot strips in the slit of each shrimp. Brush each spring roll strip with egg and roll each shrimp tightly in the spring roll strip, with the egg holding it together. The tail of the shrimp should be protruding from one end and the carrot from the other – to resemble a firecracker! Continue the process until all the wrappers are rolled with the shrimp and carrots. To make the dipping sauce, in a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and hot pepper sauce. Set aside. In a wok, heat the vegetable oil to 350 F. Fry the shrimp rolls until golden brown, about 2 minutes, turning 2 to 3 times. Drain on paper towels. Serve with dipping sauce.
