## Instructions

### 1. Prepare the filling

In a bowl, combine crab meat, cream cheese, red bell pepper, green onions, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well blended but still chunky.

### 2. Assemble the egg rolls

Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of crab filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little water.

### 3. Fry until golden

Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 3–4 minutes). Drain on paper towels.

### 4. Serve and enjoy

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce—cocktail sauce, spicy mayo, or tangy remoulade all work beautifully.
