Rice Paper Shrimp/Crab Chips

Ingredients

  • 4 sheets of rice paper 
  • 6 shrimp 
  • 6 imitation crab sticks 
  • 1 scallion, finely chopped 

Instructions

  1. Split each imitation crab stick in half lengthwise to make 12 pieces. 
  2. Place one dry sheet of rice paper on a flat surface. Arrange half of the crab sticks evenly, leaving about an inch of space between each. Sprinkle chopped scallions over the top. 
  3. Lightly dip a second sheet of rice paper in water to soften, then place it over the first sheet to cover the crab sticks. Let it sit for a few seconds to adhere and form a pocket. 
  4. Use kitchen scissors to cut around each filling to create individual rice paper squares. 
  5. Repeat the same steps using the shrimp for the second batch. 
  6. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, deep-fry the rice paper pockets until they puff up and become golden and crispy on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels. 
  7. Serve hot and enjoy as a crispy snack! 

Tip: Don’t wet the first rice paper sheet so you can easily place and position your fillings without it sticking. Only dip the top layer to seal and form a pocket. Let it sit for a few seconds so it sticks properly before cutting.
