Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Start by steaming the cauliflower rice until tender, about 5 minutes.
Allow the cauliflower to cool, then transfer it to a clean cloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a food processor, combine the shrimp, ginger, garlic, green onion, coconut aminos, salt, and black pepper, and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed.
In a bowl, combine the strained cauliflower rice, shrimp mixture, coconut flour, egg, and sesame oil, mixing well until a paste forms.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small dumplings, about the size of a golf ball.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the dumplings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the dumplings for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel.
Serve warm as an appetizer or a main dish with a side of soy-free dipping sauce, if desired.
