Teriyaki Shrimp Bundles

Number of Servings: 
6
Ingredients: 
4 teaspoons peanut oil, divided
3 to 4 medium carrots, shredded (about 1 ½ cups)
One 7-ounce package mung bean sprouts
1 cup snow pea pods, sliced into ½-inch pieces
4 scallions, white part chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound small cooked shrimp, fresh or frozen, thawed
1 cup cooked rice
1/3 cup lite teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
12 egg roll wraps
Instructions: 

Heat two teaspoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, bean sprouts, snow peas, scallions and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, rice, teriyaki sauce, peanuts, brown sugar, and ginger and heat through.

To prepare the bundles, use a nonstick muffin pan with 12 medium-size cups. Gently place 1 egg roll wrapper into each cup, letting it extend over the sides. Place a generous 1/4 cup of the shrimp mixture into each wrapper. Bring the corners up and over the top of the filling, pressing and folding to seal the edges together (it doesn’t have to be perfect!). Brush the remaining oil on top of each bundle. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

  • I am finally convinced that the cholesterol found in shrimp isn’t going to raise my blood cholesterol and may actually decrease my risk of heart disease.  Are there any other nutrients found in shrimp that can make me healthier?
    Happy Holidays!

We already know that shrimp is low in fat and calories. But if you are concerned about cholesterol, there is good news. You do not have to give up shrimp! Research shows and dietitians concur that the high percentage of "good fats" in shrimp reduces the impact of cholesterol. So enjoy shrimp as part of a balanced - and delicious - diet.
