Appetizer

Very Easy

28 min

These shrimp rice paper bites are the kind of appetizer that instantly makes snack time more fun. They turn beautifully crispy in the air fryer, while the shrimp stays tender and flavorful inside. Served with a creamy yogurt, honey and sriracha sauce, they have just the right balance of crunch, freshness and bold flavor. A little umami, a little spicy, and seriously hard to stop eating.

Finely chop the raw, peeled shrimp.
Then mix them with the cornstarch, sesame oil, soy sauce, crushed garlic clove, chopped green onion (the green part only), salt, and pepper.
Soak the rice paper sheets in cold water for a few minutes before use to rehydrate them and soften them.
Place the filling on a rice paper wrapper and roll it up to form a roll.
Cut the roll with scissors into small bite-sized pieces, and repeat with the rest of the filling.
Place the small bites in the air fryer basket and brush them with oil (here, using a spray bottle).
Cook in the air fryer for 16 to 18 minutes at 390°F/200°C in air fry mode. Flip (or shake the basket) halfway through cooking.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce:
Mix together the plain yogurt, garlic powder, honey, mayonnaise, and Sriracha sauce.
Enjoy the appetizers with the sauce: they're delicious!
