Step 1
In a food processor, combine ground chicken and shrimp; pulse until well mixed and shrimp is chopped finely.
Step 2
Transfer the chicken-shrimp mixture to a large bowl and add egg, coconut flour, soy sauce, salt, white pepper, and minced garlic. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Cover and steam for about 12-15 minutes or until the filling is fully cooked.
