Remove the package of spring roll wrappers from the freezer and allow to thaw on the counter for 30 minutes.
Once the wrappers are thawed, separate each layer and keep them covered with a clean kitchen towel. Otherwise, they will dry out. If the wrappers feel too dry, use a slightly damp towel.
In a small bowl, mix flour and water until combined. You want the consistency of glue.
Peel and De-vein the shrimp, but keep the tail on. With a small knife make small incisions on the underside of the shrimp to have it lay flat. Do not cut all the way through the shrimp.
Pat dry the shrimp to remove any moisture. Season lightly with salt and ground white pepper.
Place one wrapper on a work surface and have it in a diamond shape. Then fold over a third of the right side to make a straight edge.
Place the shrimp in the middle with the shrimp tail on the outside of the wrapper edge. Then bring up the bottom, tuck it under the shrimp, fold over the left side, and roll up to the top. It should be nice and tight, if it feels loose, re-roll it again.
Dip your finger in the 'glue' (flour and water mixture), and add it to the top of the wrapper to seal the shrimp in a blanket. Continue wrapping all the shrimp.
At this point the shrimp in a blanket can be stored in a zip top bag and frozen to be cooked at a later time. Otherwise, if cooking now, heat oil in a heavy pot or fryer.
Once oil is 350 degrees F, place a few of the shrimp in a blanket in the oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. It will only take a minute or two to cook. Once the outside is slightly golden they are ready.
Use tongs to remove the shrimp from the oil and allow to cool on a paper towel lined plate.
Serve Warm with some sweet chili dipping sauce

Notes
If you have leftovers store them in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or air fryer. You can also re-fry them if you have leftover oil. Microwaving them will make them soggy and it's not recommended. Related Recipes:Fried Spring RollsCheese RollsBanana Spring Rolls
