Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups chopped green onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sweet paprika
12 oz uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, coarsely chopped
1 oz bean thread noodles,* soaked in hot water 20 minutes, drained, minced (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
9 17 x13-inch sheets frozen phyllo pastry, thawed
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
6 tsp plain dried breadcrumbs
6 fresh chives
tomato chermoula sauce

Directions:

Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add green onions, garlic, cumin, and paprika and sauté until onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add shrimp and sauté until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in minced bean threads, cilantro, parsley, and lemon juice. Season filling with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Lightly butter large baking sheet. Stack phyllo sheets on work surface. Cut sheets in half crosswise to form eighteen 13x81/2-inch rectangles. Stack all rectangles. Using 8-inch-diameter plate as guide, trace circle atop phyllo stack. Cut all phyllo sheets, forming eighteen 8-inch-diameter rounds. Cover rounds with damp paper towel to prevent drying. Place 1 phyllo round on work surface; brush with melted butter. Top with second phyllo round; brush with melted butter. Top with third phyllo round; brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon breadcrumbs. Place 1/16 of filling in center of phyllo. Enclose filling by gathering phyllo and carefully twisting top to form purse. Transfer phyllo purse to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo rounds, melted butter, breadcrumbs, and filling, forming 6 phyllo purses total. Brush phyllo purses with butter. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake phyllo purses until golden and heated through, about 12 minutes. Carefully tie 1 chive around twisted section of each phyllo purse, forming knot. Transfer 1 phyllo purse to each of 6 plates. Spoon some Tomato Chermoula Sauce around each phyllo purse and serve.
* Bean thread noodles (clear dried noodles, also known as cellophane or transparent noodles) are sold at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.
