Ingredients
  

For the Whipped Feta Filling:
  • - 6 oz Greek feta cheese crumbled
  • - 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1 tsp lemon zest
  • - 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • - 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • - 2 green onions thinly sliced (greens saved for garnish)
For Assembly:
  • - 12 large wild-caught shrimp 16/20 count, peeled and deveined
  • - 6 sheets phyllo dough or 12 egg roll / spring roll wrappers
  • - 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil for brushing
  • - 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a bowl or mini food processor, whip feta cheese, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon zest, 1 tbsp olive oil, and dried oregano until completely smooth and creamy. Fold in green onion whites.
  2. Pat raw shrimp dry with paper towels. Make 2-3 shallow cuts across the inner curve of each shrimp so they lay completely flat.
  3. Fold one olive-oil-brushed sheet of phyllo dough in half. Spoon 1.5 tablespoons of whipped feta along the bottom edge. Place a flattened shrimp horizontally across the filling.
  4. Fold side edges inward and roll upward tightly into a log. Brush seam with olive oil to seal.
  5. Place rolls seam-side down in air fryer basket. Lightly spray with olive oil. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deep golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer to a platter, garnish with sliced green onion tops and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

- To make ahead, assemble rolls completely and freeze uncooked on a baking sheet. Air fry frozen rolls at 380°F for 14-16 minutes.
- Internal temperature of the roll should reach 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
