Pappadeaux Spring Rolls Recipe

What makes these spring rolls really pop is the crispy lobster paired with fresh-cut potato sticks, giving each bite a satisfying crunch.
A key trick to mastering this dish is not to overstuff the rolls to ensure they remain intact during frying.
I really love how the sesame orange dipping sauce provides just the right tangy complement to the succulent bites.
