Ingredients

• 300 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice

• 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by steaming the cauliflower rice until tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Allow the cauliflower to cool, then transfer it to a clean cloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the shrimp, ginger, garlic, green onion, coconut aminos, salt, and black pepper, and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine the strained cauliflower rice, shrimp mixture, coconut flour, egg, and sesame oil, mixing well until a paste forms.

Step 5

Using your hands, form the mixture into small dumplings, about the size of a golf ball.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the dumplings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Cook the dumplings for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel.

Step 10

Serve warm as an appetizer or a main dish with a side of soy-free dipping sauce, if desired.
