"Cooking for a crowd and need the perfect appetizer? Try making these shrimp and veggie-stuffed lumpia, or, as they’re referred to in the Philippines, lumpia togue-- togue meaning bean sprout. Your guests will love the crisp wrappers and flavor-packed filling, and you will love how quickly a batch can be whipped up. You can also make these ahead of time, freeze, and fry a few days later!..."
