MOROCCAN SHRIMP BRIWATS (LIKE EGG ROLLS)
In Morocco, briwats can be stuffed with sweet or savory fillings. This is a savory filling that is somewhat modern in origin. This recipe is an adaptation of both my Moroccan mother-in-law's version (though she adds garlic) and a recipe found in the book "Cooking at the Kasbah" by Kitty Norse. Some people also add soy sauce to the mixture (a sure sign of the recipe's modernity; soy sauce, as you can imagine, is not "native" to Morocco!) :) These are yummy snacks and surprisingly light, despite being fried. Do try to find the lumpia wrappers--briwats should not be doughy, but instead light and crispy, and the lumpia wrappers do the job nicely.

- Or, if you prefer, fold the wrappers into triangle shapes.
- Brush the edges with some beaten egg yolk to seal.
- Fry in hot vegetable oil until golden.
- *Youcan freeze uncooked briwats until ready to use.

- This is a good"potluck" dish and is great for a quick and tasty lunch.
