Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 60 grams almond flour
- 40 grams coconut flour
- 1 large egg white
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, low-sodium
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 100 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, for greasing
Instructions
Chop the peeled and deveined shrimp into small pieces; set aside in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour and coconut flour. Stir in the egg white, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped scallions, salt, and white pepper to the shrimp. Mix well to combine the shrimp filling.
Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper until it's thin and even.
Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out small circles from the dough, about 6 cm in diameter.
Place a teaspoonful of the shrimp mixture in the center of each dough circle.
Dampen the edges of the dough with water, fold in half, and press to seal. Pleat the folded edges to create traditional dim sum shapes.
Grease a steamer basket with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Arrange the dim sum in the steamer basket, making sure they don't touch one another.
Heat a pot of water and once it's boiling, place the steamer basket over it.
Cover the steamer and let the dim sum steam for 10-12 minutes, until the shrimp is cooked through and the dough is firm.
Serve immediately while hot, optionally with a low-carb soy or chili sauce for dipping.
