Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Aromatics and Herbs:
- ¼ cup (14 grams) chives, chopped
Seasoning and Oils:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Wrappers and Cooking Ingredient:
- 20 rice paper wrappers (6-inch diameter)
- Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray (for greasing)
Serving Option:
- Dipping sauce of your choice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare an oven-safe baking sheet by lightly coating it with olive oil, creating a non-stick surface for the delicate dumplings.
- Create a vibrant filling by thoroughly blending chopped shrimp, finely minced chives, crushed garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a sprinkle of black pepper until the ingredients form a harmonious mixture.
- Soften rice paper wrappers by quickly dipping them in warm water for 10-15 seconds, ensuring they remain flexible but not overly saturated.
- Position a portion of the shrimp mixture near the bottom edge of the softened wrapper, leaving small margins on the sides.
- Carefully fold the wrapper’s sides inward, then roll the dumpling tightly, creating a compact, sealed package that prevents filling from escaping during baking.
- Arrange the dumplings seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each one.
- Enhance the exterior by gently brushing or spraying the dumplings with olive oil, which will help achieve a golden, crispy finish.
- Roast the dumplings in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, monitoring their color to ensure a perfect balance of crispness and tenderness.
- Allow the dumplings to rest briefly after baking, then serve alongside a complementary dipping sauce for an elevated culinary experience.
Notes
- Dipping sauce adds zesty excitement to these crispy, golden-brown shrimp delights.
- Rolling technique creates tight, compact packages that seal in mouthwatering flavors.
- Brushing with olive oil ensures a beautiful golden exterior that crunches perfectly when bitten.
