- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Pour this mixture over the shrimp and vegetable mixture, and toss to coat evenly.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the shrimp and vegetable filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Use a small amount of water to seal the top corner of the wrapper.
