Succulent Crispy Shrimp emerge as a delightful culinary marvel from coastal kitchens. Mediterranean spices and golden-brown breading create an irresistible seafood experience that promises pure enjoyment.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (0.45 kg) cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup chives, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 20 rice paper wrappers (6-inch diameter)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray (for greasing)
- Dipping sauce of your choice (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly oil a baking sheet to prevent sticking, creating an ideal cooking environment for the shrimp parcels.
- Filling Creation: Combine chopped shrimp with chives, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper, mixing until ingredients meld into a cohesive and flavorful filling.
- Wrapper Technique: Momentarily submerge rice paper wrappers in water until pliable, then lay on a damp kitchen towel, ready for precise filling and rolling.
- Assembly Process: Place shrimp mixture near the wrapper’s bottom edge, fold sides inward, and roll tightly into compact cylinders, positioning seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Finishing Touches: Brush dumplings with olive oil or cooking spray to encourage a golden, crisp exterior. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, rotating midway to ensure even browning.
- Serving: Allow dumplings to cool briefly after removing from the oven, then plate with a complementary dipping sauce for an elegant and flavorful presentation.
Notes
- Wrapper Preparation: Soak rice paper briefly in warm water until flexible, handling carefully to prevent tearing or sticking.
- Filling Technique: Mix shrimp filling thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly, ensuring balanced flavor in every bite.
- Rolling Precision: Fold dumplings tightly with minimal air pockets to prevent splitting during baking and maintain structural integrity.
- Crispy Surface Secret: Brush lightly with olive oil or cooking spray to achieve golden-brown, crunchy exterior without excessive greasiness.
