Add shrimp and cook until opaque, about 2-3 minutes.

Mix in bean sprouts, cilantro, soy sauce, and black pepper; remove from heat.

Let the filling cool slightly before assembling.

Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner facing you.

Spoon a portion of the filling onto the wrapper, folding the corners over the filling.

Roll tightly away from you, sealing the edge with a bit of water.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the spring rolls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes each.

Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
