Low-Carb Crispy Shrimp Rolls

Ingredients

• 300 g Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (Finely chopped; the quantity is not specified in the source, so it is estimated for 2 servings.)
• 1 tsp Cornstarch (Helps absorb excess moisture and bind the filling.)
• 2 Scallions (Finely chopped; the quantity is not specified in the source.)
• 8 Rice paper (The source does not specify the quantity; 8 small or medium sheets are estimated.)
• Salt (To taste, for the filling and sauce.)
• Black pepper (To taste.)
• Garlic powder (To taste.)
• Sesame seeds (To taste, for sprinkling before cooking.)
• Love (A pinch, according to the source; optional and figurative.)
• 2 tbsp Sour cream (For the sauce.)
• 1 tsp Sweet chili sauce (For the sauce.)
• 1 tsp Lime juice (For the sauce.)
• Salt for the sauce (To taste.)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary. Pat them very dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible; this helps keep the filling firm and allows the rolls to brown better.

2. 2

   Finely chop the shrimp and place them in a bowl. Add the cornstarch, chopped scallions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until the cornstarch coats the shrimp and the filling is well combined.

3. 3

   Prepare a cutting board lightly moistened with water. Have a wide bowl of water ready for hydrating the rice paper.

4. 4

   Submerge one sheet of rice paper in the water for approximately 5 seconds. Remove it while it is still somewhat firm; it will continue to soften on the board.

5. 5

   Place the hydrated sheet on the damp board. Arrange a portion of the shrimp filling in the center and compact it slightly.

6. 6

   Once the rice paper becomes soft and flexible, fold the sides inward and roll firmly, forming a compact sausage-shaped roll. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.

7. 7

   Cut each roll into portions. Place them in the air fryer basket without overlapping and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

8. 8

   Cook in the air fryer at 185 °C for 18 minutes, or use the fish program if your appliance has one. The rolls should be crispy and golden on the outside, with a tender interior and fully cooked shrimp.

9. 9

   While the rolls are cooking, combine the sour cream, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Taste and adjust the salt as needed.

10. 10

    Serve the rolls hot with the dipping sauce.

Notes

The quantities of shrimp, scallions, and rice paper are not specified in the publication; amounts for two servings have been estimated. Avoid soaking the rice paper for too long, as it may tear when rolled. Do not overlap the rolls in the air fryer so that the air and heat can circulate properly.
