Shrimp Dumpling Lettuce Wraps or Rice Bowls
I love shrimp dumplings, especially the filling inside, which inspired these Lettuce Wraps and Rice Bowls.The shrimp is flavored with fresh ginger, scallions, soy sauce, and sriracha and tastes equally delicious served over rice or lettuce, a great low-carb option. Whatever you decide, top it with pickled carrots, dumpling sauce, and more sriracha. For more lettuce wrap recipes, try my chicken Asian Lettuce Wraps and Thai Chicken Peanut Lettuce Tacos, and for more rice bowls, check out my Seattle Asian Salmon Bowls and Korean Beef Rice Bowls.
Make Them Into Rice Bowls
Since I couldn’t decide if I should make them into rice bowls or lettuce wraps, I asked on my tiktok video last month and you said both! So I am letting you decide. If you need a low carb option, lettuce wraps is the way to go, I would double the portion. If you want to add some carbs to make it more balanced and filling, simply serve the shrimp over 3/4 cup brown rice and omit the lettuce. This will add about 165 calories or 5 ww points. And if you want pork, try these delicious low carb pork dumplings made with zucchini.
What is the best lettuce to use for a wrap?
The best lettuce for lettuce wraps is butter lettuce, also known as Bibb or Boston lettuce. Butter lettuce is tender and mild. I also love iceberg and romaine hearts. Their leaves are generally bigger than butter lettuce’s, so they’re good if you want larger wraps. Endive is another good option for a lettuce wrap.
What is dumpling sauce made of?
To make dumpling sauce, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic. Add in thinly sliced ginger and the green part of one scallion.
How to Pickle Carrots
Pickling carrots is pretty fast and easy. You can also double or triple the recipe if you want leftovers. They’re great to add to salads, banh mis, summer rolls, and grain bowls and will last in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
Variations:
Sub ground pork or chicken for shrimp. Omit the sriracha if you prefer milder food.
