Keto Cream Cheese Egg Rolls w Shrimp
How to Make It
Step 1
Peel and devein jumbo shrimp, and pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss the shrimp in a bowl with one pinch each of the following spices: salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and sesame seeds. However, you are welcome to season the shrimp to your liking. Meanwhile, melt the first amount of butter in a small non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
When the butter is hot, place the shrimp in the pan. Cook the shrimp for just 2-3 minutes on each side. You want the shrimp just cooked through and lightly grilled spices on the outside. When done, chop the cooked shrimp and set them aside for later. In a clean mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and salt. Wipe the pan you used clean and melt the second amount of butter over a low heat setting on the stove.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the hot butter. Leave the eggs undisturbed as they cook into an omelet. You can place a lid over the pan to help you cook. It may take up to 5 minutes or longer for the egg to cook through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning. When the egg omelet is cooked, slide it out onto a sheet of parchment paper to cool slightly. Microwave the cream cheese until it is soft. Then, spread the cream cheese over the top of the omelet.
Step 4
At your discretion, you may add any additional spices or condiments over the cream cheese. In this recipe, Sriracha was added optionally. Arrange the chopped shrimp in a horizontal edge on one side of the omelet, as if you were preparing sushi. Use the parchment paper to lift that end of the omelet and fold it over the shrimp. Gently continue rolling the egg until you have a fat “sushi” roll.
Step 5
Slice the egg roll into 4-6 pieces. Again, at your discretion, you can add any toppings you would enjoy. Here, this roll was garnished with extra Sriracha, sesame seeds, and chopped green onion. Serve the roll either as a warm breakfast or you can refrigerate the pieces and enjoy them as a cold snack.
