Crispy Rice Paper Shrimp Bites

Ingredients

• 0.5 lb shrimp (finely chopped and patted dry)
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 2 garlic (grated cloves (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder))
• 2 tbsp green onion (chopped)
• salt and black pepper (to taste)
• 2 rice paper sheets (large sheets)
• avocado oil spray (for cooking)
• 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Sriracha
• 1 tsp honey
• 0.5 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.25 tsp garlic powder
• salt (for the sauce, to taste)
• sliced green onion (optional, for serving)
• chili oil (chili crisp) (optional, for serving)
• sesame seeds (optional, for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix the chopped shrimp, cornstarch, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, green onion, salt, and pepper to prepare the filling.

2. 2

   Dip a rice paper sheet in warm water for 3 to 5 seconds until it is pliable but still slightly firm.

3. 3

   Place the shrimp filling onto the rice paper and roll it tightly, then cut the roll into bite-sized pieces.

4. 4

   Generously spray the bites with avocado oil.

5. 5

   Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 14 to 16 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   While cooking, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl until smooth.

7. 7

   Garnish the bites with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately with the spicy yogurt sauce.

Notes

Tips: Dry the shrimp well before chopping to prevent the filling from being too wet. Do not over-soak the rice paper; it should remain a bit firm to make rolling easier. Spray generously with oil for a very crispy and blistered finish.
