Ingredients
20 rice paper wrappers (6-inch diameter)
1 pound cooked shrimp, finely chopped
¼ cup chives, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray (for greasing)
Dipping sauce of your choice (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped shrimp, chives, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Dip a rice paper wrapper in warm water for 10 to 15 seconds until it becomes pliable but not too soft. Place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp filling near the bottom of the rice paper, leaving space at the edges.
Fold in the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, like a mini burrito.
Place the rolled dumpling seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Lightly brush the tops of the dumplings with olive oil or spray with cooking spray for a crispy finish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and crispy. Check toward the end to prevent over-baking.
Remove from the oven and let the dumplings cool for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
