Ingredients

• 200 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 50 grams bamboo shoots, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce, low sodium
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1.5 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 0.5 cup hot water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

Directions

Step 1

Begin by chopping the peeled and deveined shrimp into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped bamboo shoots, sesame oil, grated ginger, soy sauce, and white pepper to the shrimp. Mix thoroughly and set aside to marinate while you prepare the dough.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Gradually add the hot water while stirring to form a dough.

Step 4

Stir in the melted coconut oil and knead the dough gently until smooth and elastic. If necessary, sprinkle a little more almond flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a round wrapper, about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Spoon about a teaspoon of the shrimp filling into the center of each wrapper.

Step 7

Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal. Crimp the edges to create a pleated pattern.

Step 8

Line a steamer basket with parchment paper and carefully place the dumplings inside, ensuring they don’t touch each other.

Step 9

Steam the dumplings over simmering water for 10-15 minutes, or until the shrimp filling is cooked through and the dumpling wrappers are translucent.

Step 10

Carefully remove the dumplings with a spatula and serve immediately with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
