Ingredients
- 250 grams Shrimp, raw and peeled
- 60 grams Cream cheese
- 20 grams Coconut flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 liter Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by making the dough for the wontons. In a small bowl, combine coconut flour, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms. If it's too dry, add a tiny bit of water, one teaspoon at a time, until it holds together.
Step 2
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the moisture.
Step 3
Prepare the shrimp filling by mashing the raw shrimp in a bowl using a fork or processing it lightly in a food processor until it becomes a coarse paste.
Step 4
Add cream cheese, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the shrimp. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 16 small balls. Roll each ball into a circle between two sheets of parchment paper, making sure it's thin enough to wrap around the filling.
Step 6
Place a small spoonful of the shrimp mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal.
Step 7
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Fry the wontons in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the shrimp is cooked through.
Step 8
Alternatively, you can steam the wontons. Bring water to a boil in a small pot, then reduce to a simmer. Carefully place the wontons in a steamer basket and steam for 7-8 minutes until cooked.
Step 9
Serve the keto shrimp wontons hot with soy sauce or a low-carb dipping sauce of choice.
