Healthy shrimp and chive rice paper dumplings✨
▪️1 lb. Peeled and Deveined Shrimp, cut into small pieces then rough chopped▪️1 Clove Garlic, minced▪️3/4 Cup Chinese Chives (also known as garlic chives), chopped small▪️1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger, minced▪️1 Tbsp Cornstarch▪️1/4 tsp Kosher Salt▪️1/4 tsp Pepper▪️1 Tbsp Sesame Oil▪️1 Tbsp Soy Sauce▪️12-14 Sheets Rice Paper▪️2 Tbsp Avocado Oil▪️
For the Sauce (or sub sweet chili sauce):▪️1 Small Clove Garlic, minced▪️2 tsp Carrot, minced▪️1 Lime, juice▪️1 Tbsp Fish Sauce▪️
🌱Vegan Modification: Sub in 1 lb. mixed mushrooms (or small diced tofu) for shrimp (sauté the veggie filling before folding the dumplings); sub in soy sauce for fish sauce in the sauce
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 400F convection (if you have it, no worries if not); mix together the ingredients for the sauce and set aside
2️⃣ Add the shrimp, garlic, Chinese chives, ginger, cornstarch, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and soy sauce to a bowl and mix
3️⃣ Fill up a large bowl (or pie dish) with water and place two damp paper towels on a cutting board; soak the rice paper wrapper in water for ~15 seconds (don't leave it in too long bc it will continue to soften as you work) and place on the paper towel
4️⃣ Cut the rice paper in half down the middle, break it in two pieces, and put 1 Tbsp of the shrimp mixture in the middle of each piece
5️⃣ Fold the sides of the rice paper over to filling (it will create a triangle shape) then flip the dumpling over and fold the excess rice paper onto the other side
6️⃣ Drizzle a baking sheet with 2 Tbsp avocado oil and add the dumplings; roll each dumpling in oil on both sides as you place them on the baking sheet
7️⃣ Convection bake for 13-15 mins until shrimp is pink and bottoms of the dumplings are golden brown (if you don’t have convection you may need to cook 3-5 mins longer), then broil 2-3 mins until tops of the dumplings are golden brown (watch closely while you broil because the dumplings can burn easily)
8️⃣ Serve with sauce and enjoy!
