This is a Filipino traditional recipe, and a Santos family staple. Its a great example of finger food that you can’t stop eating! First you’ll put 3 on your plate, then 4 or 5 on the next run, and before you know it, it’ll all be gone!

Ingredients

• 1 Package of Lumpia Wrappers
• 1 lb Ground Pork

• 2 Eggs
• 1 tbsp Garlic

Directions:

• Put the shrimp in a food processor along with the chopped celery and carrots, and process
• In a large bowl mix, shrimp mixture, ground pork, Mrs. Dash, salt, pepper, eggs, and garlic
• Separate the lumpia wrappers, and place the stuffing on the wrappers, roll it up, and seal it with water
• Freeze for 4-6 hours before frying
