Ingredients

• 250 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 100 grams Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 12 large Cabbage leaves
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto)
• 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by coarsely chopping the shrimp and placing them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped scallions to the shrimp.

Step 3

Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then add salt and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix almond flour, water, and the egg to create a dough. It should be moist but firm enough to shape.

Step 5

Separate the cabbage leaves and blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds until pliable, then immediately transfer them to ice water to cool. Dry with a clean cloth.

Step 6

Take approximately a tablespoon of the shrimp mixture and place it in the center of a cabbage leaf. Wrap the shrimp filling by folding the leaf ends over and gently rolling into a dumpling shape. Repeat this with all leaves and filling.

Step 7

Prepare your steamer by boiling water and line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, leaving a bit of space between each one.

Step 9

Steam for about 10-12 minutes or until the shrimp is thoroughly cooked and turns pink.

Step 10

Serve the dumplings warm with soy sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
