Gluten-Free Shrimp Dumplings

How to make Gluten-Free Shrimp Dumplings:

Gluten-Free shrimp dumplings: I miss gluten sometimes, and the one thing I miss the most is this. I love dumplings, I tried making them earlier too and I got very close with the recipe when I made them with rice paper sheets, but then I still missed the ‘maida’ flavor so yesterday I experimented again and made these with tapioca flour and GF all-purpose flour. The result was awesome, I was surprised to see how similar these were to the regular gluten momos/dumplings.

If you miss momos just like me, then you have to try this recipe TODAY. And yes you can thank me later 🙂

Prep Time: 10min

Cook Time: 12min

Makes: 12-15 dumplings

Ingredients For Shrimp Dumplings:

For the dough:

• Tapioca Flour: 1 cup
• GF all-purpose flour: 1 cup
• Salt: 1 tsp
• Olive oil: 2 tbsp
• Xanthan gum: 1 1/2 tsp
• Water: 12-15 tbsp

For the filling:

• Prawns (medium): 500 gms (Deshelled, cleaned, washed properly)
• Spring onions: 2-3 cleaned and finely chopped
• GF Soy sauce: 1 tbsp (If you don’t have the GF soy sauce, you can skip this)
• Dry chili flakes: to taste
• Salt: to taste

For pan-frying the prawns: Olive oil: 1/2 tbsp

To steam: Steamer or idli maker steamer

Method:

1. Make the dough- just like how you knead the dough to make chapati/pooris. Don’t make the dough too soft though. Cover it with a cling film, else the dough gets dry too quickly. Keep the dough covered.
2. Pan-fry the prawns, then chop them thinly for the filling.
3. In a bowl, mix the chopped prawns, chopped spring onion, soy sauce, salt, chili flakes together.
4. Make small poori-sized circular sheets with the help of a rolling pin. Brush them with a few drops of olive oil so that the sheets don’t get too dry.
5. Place a tbsp of filling in the center of each sheet and make them into a small dumpling-like packet. Choose the shape you like. I out the filling at the center then I folded the sheet/wrapper ends together over the center of filling and pinched them tightly so that they stick to each other. Did the same with the other two sides too.
6. On the steamer, brush a bit of olive oil and place the dumplings to steam. Since the prawn is already cooked, the dumplings will take 10-12 minutes to get fully done.
7. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
