  4. Place an egg roll wrapper onto a work surface with one corner pointing away from you like a diamond. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons shrimp mixture into the center. Moisten the top and side corners with the wet cornstarch mixture. Fold the dry bottom corner up and over the filling, making a tight tube. Fold the side corners in, pressing to stick against the folded roll, then roll toward the top corner to complete. Repeat to make remaining egg rolls.
