Shrimp Phyllo Pouches

I had some leftover cooked shrimp and a few sheets of phyllo dough in the fridge, and I started thinking about what I could make with these ingredients. I decided to make some fried pouches as an appetizer or tapa. They’re delicious and fun to make—perfect for a special occasion, now that we’re starting to gather with family and friends. This is my suggestion, but you can use any ingredients you have on hand—even empanada wrappers, puff pastry, or pie crust. It’s all about being creative in the kitchen! Hope you enjoy it! See you soon!

Wash and peel the shrimp. Set aside the shells and heads for the sauce, and reserve the shrimp meat for the filling.

To make the sauce, peel and finely chop the onion. Sauté it in a saucepan with oil for 5 minutes, then add the cider, shrimp shells, and heads. Cook over medium heat for 5 more minutes. Add the cream, cayenne, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and strain through a fine mesh strainer. Set aside.

To make the filling: Wash, remove the outer layers, and finely chop the leek. Sauté it in a skillet over medium heat with oil for 5 minutes. Add the chopped shrimp and the teaspoon of flour. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the milk, salt, parsley, white pepper, and nutmeg. Stir and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

Place the 2 sheets of phyllo dough on top of each other and cut into 12 squares. Place 1 tablespoon of filling on each square, moistening the edges with water. Fold in half to form a triangle, then fold the two side points inward, sealing with a little water. Fry in hot sunflower oil over medium heat until golden brown.

Plump and Juicy! Shrimp Wonton Dumplings Plump and Juicy! Shrimp Wonton Dumplings
I love shrimp. More than the wrappers and more than the meat, I wanted to emphasize the shrimp! So I used very thin wrappers and filled them with lots of shrimp.The keys to plump and juicy shrimp is to prepare the shrimp properly, and to not cut the shrimp with a knife.Once you boil the wonton they'll look OK, so you can be a bit sloppy when you make the dumplings.You can freeze the formed dumplings.

Shrimp Patties Shrimp Patties
I've always been concerned about packing breaded deep fried shrimp in bentos, since they lose their crispiness and are quite caloric. So, I chopped up some shrimp to make these simple shrimp burger patties.PS: If you make these without the egg binder, it will be easier to form the patties if you mince the onion.Use leftover bread or crusts. I used some leftover baguette this time.I've kept it simple to pack these in bentos, but add plenty of garlic if serving these for dinner!The burgers are also delicious sandwiched between bread. For 4 small burgers. Recipe by putimiko cookpad.japan -

If you have any leftover meat filling, make some shrimpless gyoza dumplings. They'll be quite delicious. Recipe by Yukirinrin cookpad.japan -
