Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 sheets Coconut wraps (Whole30-compliant)
- 2 tablespoons Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional, Whole30-compliant)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (for sealing edges)
- as desired Steamed vegetables or greens (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Chop the raw shrimp into small pieces or pulse in a food processor until a coarse paste forms. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl.
Add the green onion, coconut aminos, sesame oil (if using), ginger, garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to the shrimp mixture. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Prepare the coconut wraps by cutting them into 4-inch diameter circles using a sharp knife or a round cutter. Cover the cut wraps with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
Place 1 tablespoon of the shrimp filling in the center of each coconut wrap circle. Dip your finger in water and lightly moisten the edges of the wrap to help seal the dumplings.
Fold the wrap over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges tightly to seal. For added security, pleat or crimp the edges if desired.
Line a bamboo or metal steamer basket with parchment paper (poke small holes in the parchment for airflow). Arrange the dumplings in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Bring a pot of water to a simmer and place the steamer basket over the pot. Cover and steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, until the shrimp filling is fully cooked and opaque.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve immediately, optionally pairing them with steamed vegetables or greens for a complete Whole30 meal.
