Ingredients

• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
• 0.5 cup tapioca flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse the raw shrimp until they form a smooth paste.

Step 2

Add coconut aminos, minced ginger, chopped green onions, and sea salt to the shrimp paste. Pulse again to combine evenly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, arrowroot powder, tapioca flour, and salt.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the water.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a dough. You may need more or less water, so add it slowly until the dough is slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 6

Dust a clean surface with tapioca flour and roll the dough out until it's about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 7

Cut out small squares (around 3 inches on each side) from the dough using a knife or a pizza cutter.

Step 8

Place a teaspoon of the shrimp filling into the center of each square.

Step 9

Fold the squares into wonton shapes by bringing opposite corners together and pinching the edges to seal.

Step 10

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 11

Fry the wontons in batches, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Serve hot with additional coconut aminos for dipping if desired.
